Any extra attention after a molt?

I have three smaller corn snakes, and came home this evening and noticed a molted skin, though I have no idea which one did it.
They eat, then they hide, so I haven't noticed any glazed eyes or skin slough.

My post question is:
Is there anything I need to do to assure there're no problems after a molt, or is it good now?

Is it a complete shed? If it is then great if not you need to find which snakes it is and maybe help them shed. Things like this is why its easier to keep them seperate then you know what each snake has going on.

In a complete shed you should make sure the tip of the tail has shed off the snake and the skin over the eyes (when it stays on it's called an eye cap). Just make sure those areas are good and there there are no other pieces missing from the shed and everything will be just fine.

They should all be housed INDIVIDUALLY for a multitude of reasons. I've posted like a 100 times about this & don't have the time today. Run a quick search on group housing & see what that brings up I'm sure you will see many posts by myself in reguards to such. Mark
