Weird behavior

Hey guys just a quick question. Like I said before I am brand new to keeping BP's so naturally this is my first winter with one. I have a normal seven month old. I was trying to hold him a few times a week since I got him and everything has been going great. Just recently I noticed a small white ( what looks like dead skin) on his left eye. I have been trying to get a better look at it but every time I try to hold him or take him out he gets very stiff hides his head and looks to run. He seems like he wants no part of me messing with him. Before this he was nervous but warms up after a few minutes and is ready to come out and play. I am just worried about this behavior and wondering if it has anything to do with the white spot.
Thanks

From your description it sounds like he has a stuck eye cap from a bad shed.
Even if the shed came off of the snake, it may have stayed stuck to his eye.

Any pictures?

I tried to look around to see if I can find a shed and I didn't. I will try to take a picture in a few minutes, maybe that will help.

well most snakes are head shy so sounds pretty normal to me, and if its dead skin and hes really fighting you that hard, he'll just shed it off next time. no harm done.
