I can confirm it though, because my Boots has somehow shed a small piece off and it did bleed before healing up into scale-less skin. I do not recommend tampering with snakes during this time, and I've personally had my best sheds occur when the snake is left alone, the substrate saturated, and the tank/container set up to retain humidity. (Tubs naturally retain moisture but screen lids of vivs should be covered with foil.)
If you want a snake to remove stuck shed, you can do one of two things, or both:
1. Raise the humidity, such as described above.
2. Carefully remove it yourself. (this should be considered an art within itself, as it's a lot of trial and error on your part.)

Edit: This:
I certainly appreciate the time your taking to respond buy I hope you realize I'm fully aware of what blue Is, ball-python.net's care sheet is the one I use and plus all the separate reading I've done on specific subjects of his care and tReatment.
But I have his water bowl sitting on top of a ten gallon uth. The uth isnot in th cage with him though obviously. Patient zero has sent me a thermostat! Everyone give him some rep for real.
