My Royal sheds with no problems usually shedding the whole skin off in one go
This time and a couple of days ago he shed but his head area hasn;t shed, I;ve put some sagnum moss in to raise humidity. Is this common, will it soon come off and can i create any problems

also why does this happen so I can try and preven t it in future?

Thanks

Simon

You can put a moist hide in when you notice the eyes go blue, this can help.

You could try giving him a bath in viv-temp water as deep as the snake for 15 mins or so and then allow him to run through a damp towel if he doesn't clear it himself.
