If I were you I'd stop soaking your snake prior to shedding - if your husbandry is correct and your snake is properly hydrated with a good humid environment it should shed properly.

Although there are always exceptions to the rule Balls in general DO NOT LIKE TO SOAK - soaking actually can stress and dehydrate your snake and work completely against what you are trying to do.

And although some people swear by them I've yet to have a ball use a humid hide. So I wouldn't count on a them as your only humid area for your snake.

Barring any other problems like stressors, illness, injury, parasites, etc. simply providing fresh water daily and bumping the humidity up in the cage to about 70% right before they shed (when they go from blue to clear) should provide with good sheds.

What kind of cage/set up are you using?
