    stuck shed on head
    He has just a tiny piece of shed stuck to the top of his head. Will this be good till next shed? I already soaked him for like 5 min then tried gently peeling it off with a wash rag but it didnt budge. Does it need to be removed or can I wait till next shed?

    You could leave it if you wanted. You could try taking a moist towel, and put it and your snake in a pillow case for 20-30 mins. And if you can put it in his enclosure while hes in there to keep it warm.

    I would wait till next shed it may not be stuck shed kinda hard to see in the photos. Sometimes when they shed a few new scales will loose the top layer and look a little dull and this can be mistaken for stuck shed. With a spot that small I would just leave it alone till next shed :)

    I probably wouldn't mess with that small spot. It won't hurt anything and may come loose on its own. Just make sure you maintain proper humidity levels.

    x3, it isn't going to cause any issues and will probably be hard to get off. It will be gone next time your BP sheds.
