So, all my worry was for naught. By the time I made it home from work today, I noticed what looked like shed skin poking out of the edge of the hide he/she has been using. I decided that it was time to lift another hide...
Nice clean shed. One small separate piece (part of the head, where it undoubtedly started the process, with two complete spectacles!), and one flawlessly rolled up sock made up of 99% of the shed. No stuck pieces, beautiful fresh scales shining. I couldn't resist at this point, and went ahead and took it out for a bit, got a few pictures, etc. I will go ahead and take another shot at feeding later this evening, and I am confident it will go well.
Thank you all for your responses and advice.
