Cola shed last night but also fed her last night too. There was a full skin apart from the last inch of tail. Now do I leave cola alone for the two days to digest before checking her tail or check her tail and risk her regurgitating the mouse?

I would place a damp hide in with her and see if she can sort herself out and check her in 24hrs. Others may have more advice

The stuck shed can always be soaked off in a couple of days and as above a damp hide in a good idea

Agree with the above - definitely leave her alone to digest as a couple of days won't hurt, but putting a damp hide in for her is also a great idea as she may get it off herself anyway.

Damp kitchen roll or a damp flannel. The rough surface of the flannel might give the snake something to use to get the skin off.
