    ball python has a little spot of retained shed risk taking it off?

    it is on her forehead between her eyes. she has been retaining shed on this spot since i got her. i soaked her for 20 minutes and used the towel method to try and get it off. it was going well but then i saw a pink spot so i am assuming that her scales may have started to get pulled up.. this is a real small spot and was wondering if it is worth eaven trying to get this shed off..

    I would just leave it, as long as it isn't at risk of cutting circulation off (which it obviously isn't) then there is no need.

    2x just correct the humidity, don't soak them during the shed cycle.
