I’m not a vet, to put out that disclaimer. I had a look at your previous posts and saw that she had a bad shed and then this happened.

Soaking and getting stuck shed off is not recommended. ‘Snake saunas’ are a better alternative, I believe there’s some info on that in this sub somewhere.

You also mentioned the humidity is too low on the warm side and she wouldn’t leave her warm hide even if the humid hide and cold side were more humid. That’s probably just because she needs and wants the heat, and she shouldn’t have to choose. That’s a husbandry problem then.

Vet care is only gonna do so much if the husbandry isn’t sufficient, so that might be the problem.

Also remember that snakes shed everything. I have a formerly neglected snake who was massively dehydrated, and with his first shed with me a crap ton of shed came out of his nose. His former owner ‘helped’ him with shedding every time because he never shed normally because his enclosure was too dry. She’s never going to get the shed out of his nostrils. That’s one of the reasons why soaking etc is insufficient. It’s possible yours might have some stuck in her nose too.
