incomplete shed

My BP shed today, but I have noticed that she didn't shed about 2.5 inches of her tail. Is this a problem or do I not worry? I would also like to say that this site is great and I feel at home here! Thanks

The tail is actually an important part of the skin to shed. If it doesn't work itself off in the next day or two, soak him/her in an inch or two of tepid water inside a small rubbermaid container for about 60 - 90 minutes a night until it slides off.

It's best if you can use a container that fits inside your ball pythons cage on the warm end so that you snake does not get too cool while soaking.
