She just shed today and had no problems, just a normal shed. When I was holding her afterwards and looking her over I noticed she had some patches of sticky scales on her. It's hardly noticeable, it just looks a little duller than the rest of her. I can feel it though, it feels like some sticky candy got spilled on her but she's never around anything that could have gotten on her. Any ideas as to what this might be and how I can help her get rid of it?

It may be stuck on shed skin. Try soaking her in a rubbermaid container with just enough warm water to cover her back and a wash cloth or towel on the bottom. Watch her closely, and leave her in it for about 20 minutes. Then let her crawl through the wet towel while you hold it. This should loosen any stuck on skin. Repeat as needed.
