Alright, I'm new here. I have come here to hopefully get a question answered that I just can't overcome.

I have two ball pythons currently, and I have bred them in the past. Generally speaking, I haven't had an issue in the 8 years that I have owned BPs...

But the female I own, a granite morph, shed... but when everything was supposed to be said and done, she had one patch of "shed skin" that didn't separate from the skin underneath. IT didn't flake or anything, it just turned white and refuses to come off. I've tried everything from soaking her in water, to dampening a hand rag/towel and letting her "run" through it.

The problem is that it's on the top of her head. Usually she doesn't mind if I have to get one or two flakes off her that are stubborn... I'll hold on to the pieces and let her move to cause the force by which it removes itself... But she won't let me grab anything from the top of her head... and I'm not going to push it.

This hasn't happened before. She's going on 10 years old. The humidity is right in her environment, I guess it's just a one-in-a-thousand chance that this happened?

Any advice to remove this skin would be appreciated. It's only about 5 cm long patch that didn't entirely separate. It's been 2 weeks since her last shed, and I'm trying to do my best to make sure that part comes off... Half of an eye-cap is still on one of her eyes... It concerns me.

Thanks guys.
