    Maybe she just didn't rub off her shed if she's stressed? I would use the wet pillow case, make sure she can't get out, and put her in it, then pillow case in her tub over the flexwatt side so she stays warm. Check an hour or so later.

    To be honest i dont even have anything that measures humidity. I know that the humidity is always fine, where i live at least, and at nite it gets a boost bc the room is small and i share it with my brother. When i see them going into shed i mist once or twice a day. Like 2 weeks ago 7 out of my 8 snakes shed out within the same couple of days and they all had perfect sheds.

    To me that just doesnt look like shes in 65% humidity... Idk though.

    This happened to me yesterday, completely out of the blue as well. My little normal and my lesser went into shed at the same time. I went away to work for a few days, came home and my lesser shed perfectly, and my normal looked like Freyja. They are in the same rack and identical tubs. I had never had a bead shed before. I think it's the really humid weather in Southern Ontario we've had this summer, maybe the little ones just can't handle it?

    I got it all off in one piece by putting him in a wet pillow case with a wet towel in his tub for about an hour. Then I started to gently roll it down from his head. Came off perfectly, in one piece.

    Good luck with her!

    From time to time, shed does get stuck, even with good humidity. Some snakes just don't seem to know to start the shed peeling. I'm think this is what has happened to her. She is ready to shed, but just didn't rub and get it started.

    If that is the case, when you pick her up the shed will be loose and crinkly under your hands. Gently pinch a bit of it up near her head, try and get it started for her. Generally they'll finish it on their own then.

    Take a one gallon plastic coffee container and fill it with warm water. Put some holes in the lid and soak her in it overnight. I just did this with my baby 1.0 normal as he looked like a poor shed was un-avoidable. In the morning he had a completey clean shed with everything just soaking off in the coffee can.

    I would not leave my snake this long in water. Im surprised your snake didnt drown, they arent really meant to be swimmers.
