| My guess is she is shedding again. Just leave them to it is my best advice for shedding, up the humidity a bit with a damp face cloth on top of one of the hides and leave them alone to do their thing, I don't even offer food when they are hiding away during the shedding process, does them no harm to skip a meal. |

| Is it not too soon to shed, considering she only shed 3 months ago? |

At that age they can shed anything up to 5 or 6 times a year. So she is probably due one by now. My Amel has been hiding for the best part of a week now. Checked her out and is deep in pink. 
Don't worry, just leave her to get on with it. She'll probably go blue, then clear and come out for a prowl then shed within a week.  |
