Just leave her, don't disturb her and she'll shed when she is ready.

 

[JUNGLE-JAK]

should i feed her

My coastal sheds 7-10 days aprox from when his eyes go blue.... I would feed as normal if she is hungry, have you noticed any rough bits of skin coming off? Do you mist her? I wouldnt be too concerned just yet

 

[JUNGLE-JAK]

all the scales on her head are ripped off but its been like that for a while

Well that is different, you should have mentioned this earlier. It sounds like she has had a bad shed and you will need to help assist getting the rest off by giving her a good soak then making sure she has something good to rub against.

i dont mist and im gonna feed now, lookking a bit skinny

the scales on the head is because of when she had an infection and was rubbing har head alot

 

[Darlyn]

Is she out and about doing her thing or is she hiding?
Can you post a pic?

 

[JUNGLE-JAK]

i will try, she is hiding with just her head sticking out

 

[Snake-Supplies]

I wouldn't feed her...

I'd do the above and bathe her...

 

[JUNGLE-JAK]

ok cheers

always mist...it is my insurance policy against bad sheds......i caught Alvin having a bad shed and i was so lucky....i drenched him with the water sprayer...he sat quietly for a bit and i guess that was to let the water take effect and then had a perfect shed......now i alwaysmist my snakes as soon as they go into shed

 

[JUNGLE-JAK]

ok cheers everyone

Do you mist with warm water? Or cold. I know may seem like a silly question

 

[JUNGLE-JAK]

i misted with warm and she finnally had a perfect shed

Mine is about to shed I think, his skin looks a little saggy in places, he's not very active,

Pandora aka spitfire was like a maniac last night.... I fed her this morning and she has gone into the blue eye phase of shed cycle(that explains a lot lol soooo I thought she was looking a little dull(skin wise) this is the first shed with me so I wasnt absolutely sure
