Not Shedding?
Little bit has had her first shed, which precisely occurred Saturday, October 31st. She pooped, excreted a few urates, and shed her skin. Having noticed her approaching shed due to some images I took of her on the 29th, I upped her humidity to about 65%. It's been a few days now and she has barely shed off the skin. Lucky for me, she did her eyelids and some of her head, but she stopped there. Concerned, I've kept the humidity at 60% to 65% hoping that when she decides to pull it off, it'll be a little easier for her. Her enclosure does include things to rub it off on. Specifically, I have a decently sized root thing that isn't necessarily dangerous but does include some less than rounded edges on which she could peel the shed off.
At this point, am I to consider her remaining shed a stuck shed?
This is the only bit on her entire body that she's shed. You can see the boundary between the shedded area and the non-shedded area.
This is her enclosure at the moment. Sphagnum moss is strewn throughout because humidity is difficult to maintain in my house (for some reason).

Re: Not Shedding?
Since it has been a few days, if she has any stuck shed, I would go ahead and give her a soak and gently remove the dead skin.
I usually just take a holding bin, put in enough lukewarm water to go half way up the snake, and soak for 30 to 45 minutes before working the shed off.
