Hello, all!

My BP seems to be having repeat shed issues around the top of his head and neck. His eyes, mouth and the rest of his body have shed successfully each time since acquiring him in the late summer, but I'm worried that leaving remaining shed on the top of his head and neck can eventually cause harm. Even if it doesn't, I'm worried that his eyes may remain covered next time.

Here is some background:
- The past 2 shed cycles (this week and a couple months ago) have had this issue. For both instances, head and neck shed didn't come off.
- Humidity has been a problem in the past. Unfortunately, the humidity wasn't at a high enough level during the last 2 shed cylces, but I've recently been able to stabilize it around 55%. Prior to that, it was subject to a lot of fluctuation while I experimented for the best setup. Humidity was fantastic in the summer and through most of fall, but has been particularly taxing where I live this winter. Temperature has been stable throughout.
- I'd like to set the humidity higher, somewhere in the neighborhood of 70%+, but I'm worried that subjecting him to so much humidity over a lengthy period of time may make him vulnerable to things like scale rot. Am I being paranoid?
- For both problem instances I've been soaking him in a tub for about 30+ minutes. It's helped to remove some of the bulk left on his body, but not the area around his head and neck. I've done this numerous times without behavioral or other health issues, but today's soak has me thinking that I'm stressing him out. I can't be certain, but I think there may have been a partial regurgitation along with some of his feces left over from today's soak. Before today, he's never regurgitated.
- I've also tried using a soaked towel to help rub a little bit off - barely successful at all.
- Like most BPs, he's very head sensitive and doesn't like it when I try to remove the shed. I don't have another set of hands around here to restrain him while doing so. It's been difficult to say the least!

I know I'm probably going to be criticized for the way I've been caring for my snake. Please be gentle and try to be understanding. I've owned a BP in the past but have never had these issues before. Just trying to do all of the research and take the actions necessary for the best interest of the animal.

Anyway, I'm beginning to think that taking him to a vet for assistance is the correct course of action. Before doing so, I'd like some insight as to whether or not there are other options available prior to bringing him in (it's currently 12*F outside, so I'd prefer not to have to take him out of the house if I don't have to) and if he's genuinely in a state of emergency that warrants bringing him in.

Thank you all in advance for your help. It's greatly appreciated.
