Looks like a failed shed. I had a similar problem with my baby during her first shed with me also. I also misted like yourself and it just doesn't seem to keep up with the rate of humidity loss at night so I couldn't keep her hydrated. I've got a PVC cage on the way so I never have to worry about it again. I was directed here to help with the stuck shed: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...hed-No-problem
I made the water about 86F, and I left her in there with a small washcloth for the full hour recommended. Once she came out the toughest part is getting a piece of shed started that you can gently work back. It may take more than one soak(only once per day) before you can get the shed removed, especially around the head. She still has a tiny bit on her head but her eyes are clear and her whole body is clear, and she's eating like a champ still with no more wrinkles, so I'm going to leave it alone for now to see if she gets rid of it on her own or during the next shed.
Edit: Eric, who helped me out, also beat me to the punch here!
