The more detail of the setup you can give us, the more we can help you make it fit your snakes needs. What are the hot side, cool side, and ambient temps? What are you measureing temps and humidity with? How old is the snake? How much does it weigh?

I don't think you need to soak every day. Although you could try soaking and then taking a damp towel (with warm water) and let the snake crawl through it. that will usually help some of the shed come off.

I am sure the snake will eat on its own if you try a few different methods. Force feeding is probably not helping though. There are a bunch of different methods for getting poor feeders to eat. I am sure others have more input on this subject as my snakes have no problem gobling up whatever happens to walk by!
