My baby ball just shed for the first time since I've had her and it all come off in a great piece. Anyway, what worked for me was keeping the humidity high (I sprayed down her hiding area everyday) and, once a day, I'd soak her in warm water for about an hour or so. I would put her in a plastic container that she couldn't get out of, fill it with the warm water (not so much that she would drown, but enough to cover her body) and leave her alone for the hour or so. The only time I bothered her during the entire shedding process was to get her out to soak her and putting her back in the tank. Otherwise, I let her do her thing. And it worked! Yesterday I came home and the skin was off, she had pooped... and she was HUNGRY
