Shedding issues with new beep
Hi guys, I got this little girl a few days ago, she looks very skinny and it seems like she has some shed issues, she’s been in her tub for a few days now, humidity around 70, I took her out to check on her and I see no progress on her shed, I have her soaking in water and she’s fine but I’m very worried about her, the breeder said she ate successfully 3 times, but I see a lot of wrinkles on her side so I assume that’s not good look

Any suggestions? Should I wait longer to feed her? Here are some new pics

just a skinny snek. one round of stuck shed is nothing to fret over, especially for a new arrival.
leave the bby alone for a week MINIMUM, ensure your husbandry is ON POINT, and when the next shed comes keep that humidity at 70% to ensure everything comes off.

So
Warm side around 87, cool side at 82-84, ambient at 80-81, I have a temp gun, this is her tub

I’ve seen her go from cool side to warm side now and then, she’s a little active but she’s always in her hides so I think she’s fine, I’m just worried about being underfed and I don’t want to stress her out more by trying to fix the shed, tomorrow is her feeding day according to the breeder, but I just got her Tuesday, should I try to feed her? Should I wait?

i'd wait minimum 5 days up to a week before offering food. your temps sound good, so just let the lil bby settle in and adjust for the time being.

How about the shed? Should I do something? Or just let her be? It seems to be stuck! But I don’t want to stress her out

how much shed is still on her? if it's not much i wouldn't worry about it right now. if there's a significant amount, you might need to just bite the bullet and help her out.
