A bad shed is caused by low humidity. It is only life threatening if the skin is retained for long periods of time.
There is a stick in the husbandry section I believe that has step by step instructions on how to remove stuck shed.
So, having stuck shed doesn't mean that the snake is unhealthy, it means that your husbandry isn't correct.
If you post the details of your setup we can help you figure out how to fix the humidity and any other possible things that could use improvement.![]()
