Her skin is dry and like crunchy. The other thing is she shed 3weeks ago. It shouldnt be shed time already again?

it could be, and the burn might be helping it alone. defiantly looks like she is going into shed almost like she should have already got rid of the old scales.

If you're keeping it too moist the skin will start to look almost wrinkly and crunchy.. That's the very beginning of scare rot. I'd suggest stopping what you're doing. Keep her clean and DRY.. Raise the humidity by putting the bowl on the hot side and keeping a wet towel on top in needed. She's staying in a moist environment and it's doing more harm than good.

Before I found her like this she was in a dry environment. As in like no humidity dry. I followed a tip from someone and got the humidity up where it should be now. She's definitely not in a wet environment unless shes in the moist hide and even there it's damp moss But she's not using it.

Lol that snake is gonna be the death of me. I just took a look at her and she's halfway done a perfect shed. You were right. Guess its just nerve wracking for me bc she's my first and I don't want her hurt. She's looking all bright and pretty again. Oi! :)

Actually, in those last few pictures, it looks like she's about to shed any second. Those wrinkles are the shed skin, not her current skin. Hopefully she'll start rubbing it off soon and will look pretty.
Glad you caught the burn this soon. :)
EDIT: Whoops! I just saw that you said she's shedding now!! Post pics of the finished result, she's a pretty snake!!! ;)

They will shed more often if they have an injury or skin issue. That's normal.

She's still going at it. I'll post pics when she's done. You guys have no idea. I've been in hysterics all day thinking something was horribly wrong with her. I swear she must be laughing at me. You guys are awesome tho! Thank you for all the help and advise!!!!!!
