Sounds like you have mites.
Do some research, shedding does not happen in only a few days, it is a process that takes over a week from start to finish.
Snakes look like they go back to "normal" before they shed.
If she has cleared up and has not yet shed just wait a day or 2 and she will have.
Should be a one piece shed if she has been soaking that much.
*HINT* The reason she is soaking so much is because she has mites, NOT because she is shedding.

she doesnt have mites... there WAS fleas in the tank. must have came from a rat i brought in. the bedding might not have been cedar idk it just sounds familliar. i know it was a bedding for snakes and i bought it at a pet store. she was soaking for about a week when i posted this. I have done tons of research and have had this snake for a full yr now. i took her out and just by holding her most of the skin came off. like a tube sock. shes up and about now and all seems well. sorry if i confused anyone with my decription. and thanks a ton to all who helped !
