    If she starts flaking pieces of shed rather than one (or a few) large pieces, you might want to check out

    You should only soak AFTER a bad shed. Never soak prior to a shed as it will usually cause it to go bad.

    If the skin is all wrinkly and dry looking, it might be a bad shed. Boost your humidity and see if the snake will try to rub any off by itself. If not, time for a soak!
