That's exactly what happened. I've had the same thing almost happen a few times over the course of many years. I have two sheds saved right now that are perfect circles from the snake's crawling back inside and continuing on toward the tail.
On one, I had to tear it out and rescue it, or it could have suffocated too. It sounds ridiculous, but weird stuff happens every once in a while..LOL!
Another snake I had years ago crawled around the water bowl as it shed, and crawled right back into the mouth of the shed it just crawled out of, and finally came out the cloaca vent, just like a tight little window..LOL!
It is a VERY rare occurrence, but it can happen once in a blue moon!
Weird, but true!
