So I found the skin... It was hidden under neath one of the bushes... It was overall a good shed because it was all in one piece. But now I have his head to worry about. Should I follow the bad shed post or is there an easier way to take care of just the head? http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/12/ve6abema.jpg

From what I see in the picture of his head, I would spray a little bit of water on top of his head to soften the skin, then gently rub your finger on top of his head away from the snout. The skin should come off with ease and not cause the snake any pain or discomfort. Check the rest of the snake and if their is more left over shed then repeat the process. Perhaps increase your humidity in future when he goes into the blue phase, this helps them have a full shed.

I thought his body looked too clear and light to be still in shed. I would give him a quick soak (not even five minutes, just enough to get his head wet without spraying him down and scaring him) and run him through a damp wash cloth. You can use gentle pressure to help work the skin off, but make sure not to press on his eyes. With shed still on his head, I would also check his tail and vent and make sure it's all off.
