Considering you're not seeing any more neurolocical problems, things might work out.



For that nasty shed ~do forced soaks (put her in something with a tight fitting lid, make sure there are either air holes or a large volume of air inside. Make the snake soak for a half hour or so twice a day. Make sure the water is just right, not too warm or chilly. You can carefully after a few soaks, take the snake in your hands, spray her with warm water and every so gently start massaging the old skin off. Do it a few times, so as not to stress this snake unduely, poor thing's been through a lot apparently. If some doesn't come off dont worry about it because she will do better next time. Keep the humidity arounf 60-65% untill the shedding it normal.



Don't worry about the shedding it will get normal with normal care. That's really great that you are not seeing any other problems. I don't think there ever was a kink, or you would still be able to feel it for life in the spine. Best of luck.
