Step 1 give her a steam bath by putting her in a small plastic tub/tote with warm water or warm water bottles and a towel wet with warm water for 20-30 min. That should make the skin soften up. With 2 layers of skin you my want to let her steem longer.

Step 2 you will just have to hold her head and peel. She wont like it and will squerm to get away but it needs to be done. I have had to help a number of my snakes with stuck shed over the years and wile they don't like being restrained it is for their own good and they get over it quickly when it is done. If your BP is a big strong girl then you may need help holding her body wile you work on her head.

Hope this helps.
