Update: It's been a few days now and there are still no visible signs of RI. No mouth breathing, bubbles, mucus, etc., and I've only heard the popping sound a couple of times. I'm no expert by any means and plan to continue watching for symptoms.

And now the very bad shed part. I've never seen anything like this and I honestly don't even know where to start, so I'm sorry if this is a big jumbled mess of a post. She's on aspen bedding and has an easily accessible water bowl, two hides that contain sphagnum moss, and a humid hide. I spot clean daily. I've tried soaking her and letting her go through a damp washcloth afterwards multiple times. She is literally shedding one scale shaped piece at a time, as you can see below. The humidity in her tank is currently around 70%. Any idea what I can try next? Is there anything a veterinarian could do for a bad shed? She's active and eating regularly, but she's still really worrying me.





The scales under each piece that she sheds aren't shiny, they're very dull and rough. She's really wrinkled in every turn and looks so dehydrated, despite the raised humidity, soaking, and use of her water bowl. You can see some of the pieces of shed on my finger.



Is this scale rot? I couldn't find many photos of scale rot on a milksnake online, but the edges of her belly scales look crusty. She doesn't live in her own filth or on wet substrate, but she has been spending a lot of time in her humid hide. Would that be enough to cause scale rot?

Again, I'm sorry if this post is a mess. She's a mess and I'm a mess as well. I just want her better.
