    I have a "foolproof" way of getting rid of retained shed pieces; if you use this method before every shed, you probably will never encounter them again.
    I transform my snake's entire cage during shed time. I start a day or two after the eyes go blue. I "up" the humidity to around 70-80 percent, by putting moist sphagnum moss all around the cage floor. I keep my several layers of newspaper in there too, moistening them as needed. I spray the inside walls of the cage with very warm water from a clean spray bottle. I keep the hides moist as well; I use modified tupperware containers, and I make sure that all have some moist sphagnum in there. I know that most people only provide one humid hdie at shed time, but my snakes never seemed to use it, and I was having some pathetic 5-piece-plus sheds. Since I switched to a "humid cage", I have had nothing but "one-piece, eyecap-intact" sheds; this is what has worked for me!

    I used to just put one humid hide, but mine never used it as well. Now I still add the humid hide, but a put a small chunck of damp moss in his other hide as well and mist often and he sheds fine now.

    I might have to give that a try Ginevive, that sounds pretty good:gj: To the op, I think it may be dried pieces of the last shed also. After my bp's last shed, I found a small patch that sounds very similar to what you're describing and found it to be just a small piece of stuck shed. Next shed, cleared right up!

    I doubt the OP will see this, since it happened over 5 years ago. :rofl:
