My bp Bella had her first shed since I've gotten her. It wasn't all one piece - it was more like one large piece, then some smaller chunks - but she did manage to get it all off in one day, except for a spot on top of her head, one eyecap, and it looks like there may be a small piece on her upper lip, and I mean on her lip, nothing over the nostrils or heat pits. I noticed the head piece later in the day after she had finished shedding, and didn't notice the eyecap until a day or 2 later when her skin got drier again. I did soak her briefly in warm water, but since the stuck shed is on her head, that part of her did not get submerged - she was trying to get out of the container the whole time. I also tried taking a wet washcloth and trying to get her to crawl through it or rub it against her head, but she gets scared and jerks away.

I've looked up this issue on here before, and read that it may not be worth the stress to the snake trying to remove stuck shed from their head area, and that leaving it alone and just make sure humidity is up enough for the next shed that the old shed will come off with the new shed. I just want to make sure it's okay for me to do that, especially leaving the eyecap on. If you've read any of my former posts, you'll know that I've recently provided her with more adequate heating and temperature/humidity control measures - and she had this shed before any of those new items had arrived in the mail, so I think she had a pretty good first shed considering. So, I'm more confident that I can definitely maintain a higher humidity for her next shed.
