thank you-
i took her to the vivarium, and someone there shed her manually. her skin came of completely and in one piece, however he said he was worried about her afterwards, because all down her back she was "sticky". he said that tacky feeling usually came when they weren't ready to shed yet. but it was confusing because her skin came off in one piece- she was *overdue* for the shed. i waited 48hrs to handle her, and just took her out... she is no longer "sticky", however, her skin doesn't look right. it has a shiny, almost scar-tissue-like quality down her spine and on the top of her head. it is still wrinkly. she has been drinking from her fountain a lot, and definitely has been more active than she was, so i am hoping that this will just heal after the next shed cycle. i have a fogger in her tank now, so the humidity will be nice and high and healing. i am still worried though.

any insight??
