My Corn Snake is Afraid Of Bathing?

Hi so recently I noticed my corn snake having trouble with her 3rd shed. She was getting off the old skin in pieces and when I noticed that I warmed her up a bath with about 1 inch of water in a 1 and a half foot long bucket. When I put her in she started moving more erratically and she was climbing up the walls of the bucket to get out. I kept her in there for about 30 seconds to see if she'd calm down but to no avail I took her out and put her back in her enclosure. Mind you this is the 3rd shed and all of her other sheds were perfect. I don't have a humidity hide but I've been misting down her enclosure twice a day. Please help ASAP

you warmed her some water? it's probably too hot. Your body temp is about 98 degrees. If the water feels warm to you, it's too hot for a corn snake. Not to mention you're probably just scaring the crap out of her. Get a soft rag, dampen it, and jut hold her in your hands and let her crawl through it a few times. The skin will come off when ready. Most corn snakes don't like baths anyway.
