Well, first you can install spell-check, then we may be able to help more. :gj:
On another note, snakes will shed frequently with rapid growth rates. Shedding isn't a bad thing at all. It's just when shedding goes wrong is when it's bad. You can help by actually not soaking her, since what you're doing is washing away all those essential lubricating oils. The best time to soak a snake for shedding is when they start to get dark in before they go into that milky blue phase. When they're in blue and during sheds, what you need to do instead is keep their environment humid. Soaking at this period of time will wash away all those lubricating fluid that they build up to get the skin off and then they'll really dry up, and as I've learned the hard way, makes the old skin stickier.

Your snake is fine, just a case of stuck shed from to low of humidity at the worst. Just giver her a good soaking for maybe an hour in warm water. And try to gently run and peel the stuck shed off. And a second shed can happen that soon in young snakes that are growing fast. If she just went into shed don't soak her though unless it's been on awhile and your sure its stuck, soaking is for after they have tried and failed. Soaking before then can cause a stuck shed as it gets rid of the oils needed for them to do it themselves. When they go into shed just increase your mistings to keep humidity around 60-80%

Your humidity is too low. A vet isn't needed for this. Just humidity and time.
She just looks really really dry. And some of her skin has already shed, so she probably didn't have enough humidity to shed properly.

Instead of a bath, put her in a warm damp pillow case for an hour and see if that helps.

Bad shed? No problem.

This link really helped me during my last shed (which was awful)…let us know how things go

Ok after I think an hour or two in the bathtub and my hands are pruned badly haha she looks gorgeous I did use that post meph but before you commented on here I found it and looked at it I peeled the skin of gently the one eye cap was already off. While the other was not, I did manage to remove the whole top of her head and the other eye cap the bottom jaw though still has some on it I'm sure it'll come off later here's a pic of her nowhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/10/asy6emyv.jpg

For future reference, mucking around with stuck shed on the eye caps is a recipe for disaster. Let those come off by them selves.

Unfortunately, that won't add the much-needed punctuation.

Haha sorry but, I have never been to good with it. Plus I'm moving fast at Swype type so it messes up now and again. You believe I'm an essay winner. XD

Yes no vet needed here! This is just a shed. Humidity needs to be higher

Looks like a deep shed too! U might find that the snakes colour lightens up after shed!
