Okay, I'm sort of new to this ball python game so please forgive me of any real or implied ignorance.

My son's python (Misty) is almost a year old (next month). She's been a dream to own and my son is nuts about her. We started her on frozen fuzzies about three weeks ago. Although she shed as recently as November, after two fuzzies, she started shedding again last week. While replacing her water Sunday night, she was out and about, sitting on her log (her typical "hey, I'm ready to eat" spot), and being very active. She had lost the skin around her face and about 1/8" inch past her head. It was her normal weekly feeding time so I decided to go ahead and feed her. Although a little more active in her feeding box (a separate container) than she normally was, she quickly took the fuzzy. She didn't have any issues with the first two fuzzies from the past couple weeks but this one seems to be stuck about 1/3rd of the way down. She's very lethargic and keeps her mouth open a bit. We've touched her and she's moved around a bit but I'm concerned that, because the rest of her body hasn't completed shedding yet, the tightness of the skin is preventing the fuzzy from moving further along. Also, her mouth seems, well, swollen and puffy. Has anyone experienced this? I'm probably being paranoid since, in the wild, there is no one there to say "hey, don't eat yet" but since we're going on the 2nd day of her being this way, I'm worried. Part of me wants to take her out -- gently, of course -- and soak her a bit to assist the shedding. The humidity and temp are perfect (about 86 on the warm side and running 60%) but perhaps it's not enough.

I've googled about every word combination I can think of and can't find anything specific to this. In general, the thought is to just give her time. A friend of mine with a 13 year old python recommended this site so I thought I'd give ya'll a try. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
