My oldest ball python has always had problems with shedding for as long as I've had her, and only recently is this starting to become a terrible problem. It's due in part to the fact that I have her in a tank that doesn't seem to hold humidity, and I'm unable to move her into a tub yet as I am out of money.

This, however, is not the problem I am having. My issue is much worse.

While trying to help her work a terrible shed off her head, it seems some skin, actual skin, around her eye has been peeled back, just a tiny bit, and I can see white underneath it, which is what I'm assuming is her skull, or whatever is underneath.

I'm used to helping her work her bad shed off after she hasn't been able to remove it herself. Soaking her in water and rubbing her down with a washcloth, the most recommended solution has always worked for me. This has never happened before.

After this, which just happened about ten minutes ago, I immediately stopped and let her back into her tank, due to the fact that I did not want to make this any worse.

I was wondering if anyone else has ever had this issue, and if there is ANYTHING I can do to help her, with the thing that happened to her eye, and this terrible shedding problem she seems to have.

I keep a wet towel over the majority of the screen on top of the tank to try and keep the humidity in, and I spray inside every couple of hours, but absolutely nothing seems to help with this shedding problem, and I can't move her into a tub just yet. I'm incredibly worried about her to the point where I feel sick with myself for allowing this to happen, but I'm totally unsure of what to do. I do my best to take care of my ball pythons, but nothing seems to help with her.
