    new girl shedding/feeding problem

    This is my first post to the forums. If this has already been answered in a different thread... my bad haha. I have a little bit of, what I think is, a problem. I have had this new girl for about a month and she will not shed. Her habitat is set up the same as my other 3 BP's and I keep the humidity at 60-70% when in shed. She has gotten all of the shed off her head but won't shake out of the rest of the molt layer. My main concern is that I haven't fed her in the 2 weeks that she has been in shed. Snakes always look scrawny or wrinkled in shed but I'm afraid she is starving because she looks skinny. I also like to keep them pretty fattened up. I don't know if I should just feed her (which in theory would seem to loosen the shed around the neck) but I don't want her to hurt herself in the process. Any suggestions? Also she is maybe 10 weeks old so feeding is important.
