    shedding
    ok i soaked him again and he let me roll/massage the dead skin up to the top of back about 2" from head where the left over patch started, and then i applied pressure and light squeeze and he worked through my fingers until the rest came off,...then i noticed that he had some left over on his head. and he wont and i don';t feel comfortable rubbing it off in fear of him jerking, thinking he will bite me, how do i get the patch off of his head or should i just keep the humidity in his tank at about 70 % and see if he gets it off? otherr than htat all the skin is off and i inspected and he had no mites that i could see...

    Get you a warm damp towel or bath cloth and let him crawl through it as you hold him (starting at the head) or you can put him in a snake bag with the warm damp bath cloth or towel and let him crawl around for a while see if that works.

    Is is all over his head or just in patches?

    Yea you should be able to get a warm damp bath cloth and gently slowly sas he is crawling through you hands and rub GENTLY down him. If he flinches just be slow and careful and it'll come off .
