...and gently rub from front to back only and it'll come off...BP's don't like to be restrained behind the head so be careful...sjm

When that happens with my snakes I fill a plastic sweater box about half way with luke warm water and put them in with the cover on for 20-30 minutes. After I gently towel them off and the dead skin comes off.
