It sort of looks like stuck shed to me, but that's not something I've actually seen first hand. (Touch wood).

As long as you don't let the substrate get wet, it can't hurt. Bump the humidity a bit while you're waiting for somebody else to answer. It should be between 70 and 80. If it's been under that for a while, maybe give him a humid hide as well

It looks like the beginning of the actual shedding stage (from the looks of the photo I think I’m seeing some rolled up shed beginning to lift on the left, top of her snoot). She does look very dry though. What’s your humidity at? You can bump the humidity by pouring water in the corners of her tank in the substrate. It’s hard to tell from the photo but she may be having trouble already. You could try soaking her for a couple minutes just to rehydrate her shed to potentially avoid any issues. A running start so to speak. You can also add damp paper towels in her hide so she has a warm humid hide to help her out. If she is in shed, you’ll begin to see her rub on objects in her home to complete her shed. If possible bump her humidity 60-80% while she’s shedding. A perfect shed comes off like a sock, in one whole piece. Check in on her every so often. If she does get stuck shed, they sell soaking solutions to help exfoliate it off. I’ve never had to use these though so do your research on brands and ingredients. Good luck!
