My snake has looked like its wanted to shedd for about 3 days now...is there anything I could do to make it, 'hurry up' ?? Im honestly wondering if there is something wrong because it looks so bad, its almost like it wants to shedd, but it cant...should I soak her in water?
 
A little soaking can help. Keeping the tank humid is how I do it: plastic wrap on the screen, a small bowl of water over the heat pad, mist with a water bottle, no overhead lights. Some people make a humid hide out of a plastic container with damp moss, but I haven't had to try that yet.
 
It's eyes have gone cloudy and come back and you're still waiting? The whole process takes a good 7 or 10 days. Not the actual shedding, that should take only 10 minutes or so if all goes well.
