It's possible that the bad shed was caused by previous poor husbandry issues, and not by anything you did wrong. Continued time in your care with the proper environment and proper diet...he should begin to shed more easily. Occasionally though, there are snakes that are just problem shedders, no matter what you do.


In the meantime...so long as there's no old skin fully encircling his head, I wouldn't worry about it at all. He may rub it off himself over time, but if not, it won't hurt to just leave it and allow it to come off with the next (better!) shed.

Good luck!
