Bad Shed or Something Worse

Hi guys, first time posting here!
I’m a proud snake mama to a pretty albino corn named Clem. Clem is about 5 months old now and has had no problems whatsoever until now. She just shed about 2 weeks ago and it was the first shed I noticed her ever having an issue with. Weirdly enough the top of her shed came off clean in one piece but her underbelly was just not wanting to come off. So I let her soak each day for about 15 minutes and after 2-3 days it finally all came off. Today when I went to clean out her tank I am noticed her underbelly is not smooth and shiny anymore but instead dry and rough. The scales aren’t flaking off and theres no blistering or cracking either, it’s just really dry. It doesn’t look like scale rot but I could be totally wrong. I’m inserting a picture so you can hopefully get an idea. She still has some shiney-ness on some parts of her belly but most of them are completely mattified and rough now compared to the top of her which is smooth and shiney like normal.
