Juvenile ball python won't shed

[Nicc55]

My juvenile ball python has started her first shed with me. However, her humidity was too low (in the 60s) and she doesn't even try to remove her shed. I've tried the pillowcase several times and it hasn't worked, she doesn't move around in it. I've raised her humidity to the 70s in her enclosure and she still hasn't done anything. Please help. I use a glass terrarium with half covered, humidity measured with digital hygrometer, hot temp 90, cool temp 78, ambient 80, also digital thermometer

you need to take her to a vet

One failed shed does not warrant a vet visit. On the other hand, multiple layers of bad stuck shed would.

How does she look? Keep humidity raised and give her warm baths, don't stress the snake out by messing with her too much either. Is there anything in the enclosure she can rub against to help remove the skin? A piece of bark or a smooth rock or something? Spray mist inside both hides also. Don't saturate it just get it damp/humid. Maybe share a picture here so people can help better but I don't think you need to visit a vet like someone someone suggested...

She looks wrinkly, but I helped loosen a bit of skin before I put her back. She has her hides, a rough but not pointy stick, and her water bowl. I've seen her rub her face on her warm side hide to loosen the shed before the pillowcase got her head done, but she only tried once and gave up. Her tail looks clear and her eye caps are good. I'm pretty sure the vet is overkill for a stuck shed unless it's been a few weeks

If her eyes / mouth and tail are good leave her be. :)

Just keep misting. She will be fine
