    Hard to say what's going on- we're not seeing him. Do be careful- if the "stuck shed" was actually a scab, maybe from a burn or injury? that would explain why you're seeing pink tissue uncovered. If that's the case, you might dab on some diluted Betadine solution (aka povidone-iodine), diluted to look like weak tea- OR, get some Vetericyn brand ointment (made for reptiles) to apply gently- at least a couple times a day while it's healing. Avoid using ointments made for humans (petroleum jelly based) as they cause issues for a snakes future sheds.
