No a vet is not needed. A little more info please... has the baby partially shed or started and has not shed at all. If you have a partial shed and there is flaking bit and bobs around try soaking her for 20 min in 84-7ºF water for 10 to 20 min and then give her something to rub against (folded cardboard or a textured hide...) and let her be for a bit and see if she gets it off her self.
If there is no sign of shed yet it may not have occured yet and you just need to wait and keep the humidity correct or a touch higher. (60-70%) it will happen.

my humidity stays around 57 regularly, and now they stay around 73 for shed, he had it on his neck/nose, and i helped him pull it off a little because he was just laying under his hide, but its just now below his neck/edge of the head. any help?

Re: shed not coming off.
You need to give your snake a little more time here and please don't pull off any more of the skin. Just make sure your humidity is up and wait a few days.

How many threads are you going to start on this? How many times are you going to ignore good advice and continue to stress out your snake with your obsessive behavior?

You need to leave that animal alone. You aren't helping him. All you are doing is making a mess out of this.
Get involved in a good book for the next week and let that snake do it's thing on it's own.

No need to get huffy. Skiploder is just trying to help. You have made enough threads about this asking the same questions. Take a deep breath and chill. Let the snake do this shedding by itself and see what happens. If the shed is stuck, then you can take action.

Watch your mouth kid. People have been trying to help you over three threads and your obsessive behavior has caused this. That's the reality of it. Grow up and deal with the consequence of YOUR actions. You can start by not starting any more threads on this and you can follow that up with leaving the snake alone.
I posted a link to two threads where you admitted to messing with that snake and peeling shed skin off of him so don't BS me with this "I haven't touched him" crap.
For the umpteenth time - leave the snake alone. He is stressed from all of the "attention" you are giving him. Give him a humid hide and let him do his thing. He will shed when he is good and ready.
I've had snakes go blue, clear and then take almost two weeks to shed, so calm yourself down.

dont even try and tell me what to do, im trying to do the best for my FIRST, i repeat, FIRST snake, and just because im a noob at shedding, doesnt give you any right to try and tell me what i have and havent done, because since the last thread the only thing ive done is check temps, and humidity, so just shut your mouth, k?
