Hello! 
I'm pretty new to taking care of snakes (about 5 months total taking care of my babies), so this situation has let me worried!
I have a high-white reverse okeetee, Peridot, who is approx four to six months old. Since I've received her three and a half months ago, my other two corns, Moody and Frisk, have both shed twice. Their sheds have ranged from full-clean sheds to flaky no matter how damp or dry I have their enclosures (I try to keep them more moist if I catch on that they're shedding), but Peridot has not shed once in those three months, and she is the youngest out of all three.
Their tanks' humidity is about 40% - 45% on a normal day, and their temperature is around 80-85 degrees farenheit both day and night in all parts of their enclosures (I live in a basement and it gets cold quick, so to keep anything warm I have a big heater in my room for both me and the snakes, so that ends up not causing a ton of variety in what heat they can chose from...). I feed them pinkies every monday at 6pm. I also pick Peridot up about once every day or two for 15-20 minutes, so I'm unsure if this is stress or environment caused.
Do you have any idea what might be keeping her from shedding, and what might be causing the huge variance in the other two's sheds? I really love them and I'm afraid I'm doing something really wrong!
