    Snake went into blue but no shed?

    Alright so here is the deal, I bought a new snake at the expo, I take it home, and it goes into blue... Now here is the problem, there is no shed but a little price stuck on her neck, but the rest of her body did not shed... And she is nippy so of course it's going to be a pain to get it off her neck... Any ideas as to why she went into shed but did not shed?

    Their eyes will clear up and they will look normal about a day or two before they actually shed. Just keep the humidity up and you should see a complete shed in his cage soon.

    Humidity is at 70-75 % while shedding, thie thing is that she looks like she has a nice new coat of skin, but no she's so I'm just curios.

    She had some stuck shed on her neck from the expo should that harm this shed at all? Or should it come off nice with this shed?

    She hasn't shed yet. They go blue, then clear again before shedding. She should shed any day now.

    The stuck shed will come off with the current shed.

    What you described sounds a little odd, but they do look normal after the blue phase and then they shed. Do you think that piece you are seeing on the neck is stuck shed from the last shed?
