why doesn't my snake ever soak despite shed issues

[flamemomma]

Are you saying that the shedding problem isn't neccesarily preordained based upon past shedding issues? That flame should shed just fine if there are no scabs to get caught on. That's what I was wondering-I saw a show where a snake had gotten scale rot at some time in it's life and because of that the snake required human intervention to shed each time after the scale rot was healed.

Without seeing that snake it could be scars from scale rot that it needs this assistance.

One or two bad sheds don't mean a snake is a "bad shedder" there is no such thing.
