    Aside from their scales falling off I have never heard of anything like shedding that is a sign that the snake is anything other than okay.

    If she's shedding she's fine :P

    Give her a few hours, if not all of it comes off I suggest taking a plastic container of some kind, putting an inch or so of warm water in it, and then letting her sit in there for 30 minutes to an hour. Sometimes when you do this the entire shed will come off in your hand, other times you can just put her back and she will get the rest off herself. Sometimes you might need to soak multiple times.

    and if you ever want to assist in a shedding that has gone wrong I would just suggest soaking and then wrapping your hand around her body and letting her run herself through your hands. Your hand will present her with something to pull the shed off with, she will move to get the shed off.

    My snake did this two days ago. Had the bluish grey eyes for nearly a week and only shed a couple pieces. Being a new owner I missed all the signs. This method worked like a charm.

    My snake has been trying to bite me a lot when he was doing this, but when I took him out of the tub with the water and had him running through a towel it was like we were a team
