Red vent....

you know that stuck shed is the number one sign that the humidity in the cage is NOT right?

Yeah, that is a bad shed. A wet washcloth inside the tub with her will help her rub it all off. The soaking will usually get them to poo too.

I agree that she does look a bit dehydrated, and I'd put my money on saying the humidity is too low in the cage. I'm not trying to sound rude, but that's really what causes bad sheds. The shed looks very bad.

Dehydration isn't necessary about the humidity in the cage but also the snakes intake of water. I have kept an eye with my snakes during sheds, and tested the humdity in different % and I have experienced several times that a snake that is drinking well and are hydrated in that way will shed perfectly while a snake who's not drinking enought can have a bad shed independent about the humidity in the cage...

A hydrated snake isn't just because of good humidity in the enclosure.

And a well-hydrated (good drinking) snake can shed perfect with low humidity in the enclosure as well.

thank you for proving that I didn't lie just to make myself look good.. the humidity is right.. but I've never seen her drink.. she had a bath and I got every piece of old skin off.. I also made a humid hide with vermiculite in it and she seems a lot better now

Didn't she drink anything when you gave her the bath?

This was brought up on another forum, so I had to check it out and I have noticed that some snakes have some kind of trouble very often, and other going perfect even if they both are kept in the same way. I can even raise the humidity on the snake I know use to have bad sheds and it still won't help unless the snake itself drink enough water. Have to give them a bath before everything goes off. I even tested not to do anything with the humidity on snakes I knew did drink well, and all of them shed perfect.. Meals and water is a must to have hydrated animals.

Yeah she did drink a little bit.. I'm going to be watching her closely to make sure shes drinking
