my CRB just went through a shed and i didn't do a very dood job with her humidity. she had a rough shed and it came off in bits very slowly. now there is only one piece left but it is covering her nose and right eye. is this something i should be concerned with, seeing as it's been 2 days since she started shedding? if it is something to be concerned about is there anything i can do to help her?

Wet pillowcase or snake bag, put her inside, put wet bag in ambient area of her cage, not hot, not cold. Leave her in there overnight, shold soften the stuck on shed and then maybe you can work it off.

That small piece of stuck shed can stay on until the snakes sheds next time with no problems.

My CRB had trouble shedding recently. What I did was put him in a plastic storage container with damp paper towels on the floor. I also put in his water dish to add to the humidity. I left him in over night. Next morning, he shed the rest and looked great.
