Hmm,
How confident are you you could get it off manually while it was still moist?
You need to be gentle when starting it around the heatpit and eyes especially and go slow at the gums too.
It is trickier to peel from the back edge compared to the front but if you take your time and mist him to stop it drying out it can definately be done.

It's difficult to help them when it's stuck on their head because they usually spaz. Hopefully if you give him enough humidity he'll do it himself. Also make sure he has a rock or something rough to rub against. They can do their bodies just by rubbing their coils together, but they have to rub their heads on something to get that off. That may be the problem.
agreed if this does not work, just wait until next shed it will come off then
