Any way to encourage a shed?

[maroongrad]

She's been looking ready-to-shed for four weeks now. I've given her a moist hide that she uses, added two additional surfaces in case she needed something rougher, and no shed. Stubborn girl :) Any suggestions for something I can use to encourage this, or is it just a sit-and-wait? I don't think there's anything wrong in terms of humidity, she's been soaked a few times and has a nice big water bowl to crawl in, she has a range of temps from 90s to low 70s, a nice moist hide with damp moss in it....

Does it normally take this long??? Her eyes were milky over two weeks ago!

Sometimes it takes a while. I have had snakes go blue then take longer than two weeks to shed before. Not to worry.

Good to know, thank you :)

higher humidity and a slight bump in temps but i wouldnt try and rush something nature perfected over millions of years ago

I've had my snake for almost 6 yrs. and never once have even thought about when she sheds. Well, actually once - when she went milky and then cleared up again - I hadn't even noticed in all that time that's what happens before they shed. Anyhow, it's because it's just never been an issue. If your snake has shed well before, I'm sure it'll happen in its own time.
