    I'm so glad you got her checked out. And fyi- small & young snakes do have thinner skins than larger & more mature ones, so they're more likely to have trouble shedding, just because their sheds tear more easily, instead of coming off in one piece. I've raised lots of little ones... Be sure you always check after she sheds, to make sure the shed all came off- watch out for tail tips being left on, especially. It doesn't take many times for your sweet snake to lose her tail tip permanently if the tissue dies because of the constriction* by the remaining shed. (*The blood circulation in a snake's tail is very minimal, it doesn't take much to cause death of tissue.)
