I can't really see his bad shed having to do with his current inactivity... When you say he is inactive, is this during daylight hours? If so, no worries. BP's are nocturnal and for the most part you really won't see them during the day - they like to hide, it's just what they do. However, if he is inactive at night (mine are usually out & about from midnight to about 4:00am) then that could be caused by something more. Has he had a vet checkup? Fecals? Or it could be husbandry related. To be honest, each snake is different, so I'm not entirely sure.
he was checked by a vet and given a clean bill of health. he hasn't pooped while i owned him but did a few days before i got him. so he hasn't had a fecal test however the breeder is also a close friend of my parents and i trust her when she says that all her snakes are parasite free and in great health. once he poops i will have it tested though. usually he becomes a lil more active around 11PM but he hasn't since the shed went bad. since its around his neck and top and base of his skull im wondering if its uncomfortable for him. im going to try your suggestions, and also im going to feed him today because i know he is hungry he eats like clock work. get that humidity issue fixed up get it to around 70% and see if he cant get it off him self. its very close it just seems it may be in an awkward position to start removing it. i know he is still trying because when he is moving he is thrashing his head about and rubbing frequently on his cave water bowl and stick.

thanks allot for you help and not blasting me for being a little bit of a newbie
