Could be a dehydrated snake too. Check for mites, make sure the temps are right, and wait. It night be over after the snake rehydrates real good. Could be a lack of hides.

I only soak if I know there's a problem. I had one snake who was very dehydrated and I just left the soaking tub in with her, after a while she stopped soaking so much. I do have one snake that won't use a humidy bin or soak on her own. I give her an enforced soak the day after her eyes go clear again. With this program she had had her best sheds of her life. I'd take it for a sign of something being wrong though.
