    Once their eyes go clear after being in blue they will usually shed few days later.

    Many new ball owners think they shed when they just went back to a somewhat normal color. Give him few more days with some nice humidity and he will shed.

    couldnt have said it better myself. just make sure you got good humidity and he\she will shed fine. So far i have been lucky and all my snakes sheds have come off in one piece. I did get a snake that came with an piece of skin still on his eye bumped up the humidity and a day later it fell off.

    yeah i figured that but it was kind of strange seeing his head completely free of shed and the rest of his body still remaining the old skin you can literally see where the shedding stopped im about to upload some pics now

    Then thats a Humidity issue. You need to take a wet pillow case toss in the snake, tie off the pillow case, and set back in the cage on warm end for 1 hour.

    Should get all of it off while he tries to escape the pillow case.

    Hes having trouble with this one but hes not going to get that off on his own. So the pillow case will get it off with out a problem. Even with the right humidity some snakes still have issues
