I have a female '10 ball python and it's been having a really tough time shedding. I've tried everything to help it with it's shed and the snake looks absolutely miserable.. I believe it's tail is being cut off of circulation and observed a small sore looking spot. The poor snake, I just had it in a tupperware with some warm water and it was thrashing about inside and I took it out. The skin is still on it's nose and you can see the dead-shed skin lifting as it tries to breathe through its nose.

I'm really distraught about the whole thing it's really making me sad. I love my snakes, this is my second one. The other a 3 year old male who I've never had a problem with. Help me, please. What can I do about the tail. Is this irreversible? Please help me. Please. :'(
