    Welcome to the forum!!

    As mentioned above, you want to get that tail tip to shed off.
    The three major areas I check are eye caps, tail tip and cloaca (vent).
    Stuck shed anywhere else will typically shed off on its own and if not won't cause any health issues and will typically come off with the snake's next shed.

    The tail tip is important because retained shed can prevent proper blood flow through the tail tip and in severe cases they can lose their tail tips.

    Like mentioned above, you should be able to use a damp cloth or towel (preferably a bit textured) to help get the tail tip to shed off. Just let the snake slither through while applying gentle pressure where the stuck skin is.
