Shedding Need Help

My baby corn hasn't eaten for about three weeks and i started to see her shed last night. I misted her whole terrarium to keep it nice and moist. I woke up today and shes still shedding. It looks like shredded paper all over her. How long does it take for a cornsnake to shed? Should I be worried about it? What can I do to help besides misting the whole terrarium.

I have Repti-bark and a lot of wood/bark hideouts so the humidity gets pretty good because of all the moisture retention, but it still doesnt look like her shed is going nice

I would use aspen bedding as it holds more humidity,I use it for my cornsnake and never have any problems,just make sure you mist it real good and what you can do with her right now is wet your hand with warm water and then let her go in between your fingers and for her head wet it with warm water and take a Qtip and start rubbing on her head and eyes but be very careful around her eyes.That should help you with the shedding problem.
