Poor Shed?

I purchased my first corn snake alittle over a week ago and when i got her she looked like she was trying to shed. Her Skin was flaky. Still a week later its flaky ( not as bad as it was but still flaky). Is there something i should do or just leave it be and monitor it? She has a water bowl and i keep it with fresh water. I have never seen her go to it. I did hold her next to it today and she drank from it. How long do poor sheds last?

Thank you
 
Seems easy enough thank you. I fed her 4 days ago should I go ahead and do this or would u suggest waiting. I haven't seen her poop yet
 
Temperature on warm side fluctuates between 83-88 using the zoomed reptitemp 500r. cool side is around 70-75. She stays mainly towards the cool side untill its dark then she goes crazy an is all over everything lol.
 
It's not a lot of the shed left, maybe just a tad bit. Are there any side effects with that being left on ?
 
I'm not too sure, I guess it just depends on the snake. Give her a bath and let her go through a towel to get any loose shed off, have you checked the eye caps and tip of the tail?
 
I ended up doing nancis water trick with a towel. Which caused her to poop lol. Would it be safe to feed her tomorrow or would this stress her to much? She weighs 14g if that helps.
