    Stuck shed on head

    My ball python just shed pretty much completely in one piece, as always. Although this time there seem to be two small patches left on her head. I'm not sure why, humidity was 70-80% during her shed period. She hates her head being touched so I don't know how to get them off, they're stuck pretty good. Any ideas? Thanks

    Unless they are making an entire ring around the snake I would just leave them, they should come off next time she sheds.

    I hope so. They look a little odd on her but I guess we'll just have to deal with it!
