Well my 1 year old male BP just finished shedding yesterday, and he shed perfectly...everything except his head. none of his shed came off his head, and I had to take it off myself, something I have never done before. This little guy was SO GOOD, I couldnt believe it. He didnt try to strike, his, or get into a defensive position once. He was flicking his tongue like a mad man though. I mist his head and would slowly work the skin off. It took me an hour, but eventually I got all the skin off his head, eyelids, and nose. Never did I think I would have a snake that let me touch the skin next to his eye, run his nose, or the top of his head. I tell you what, it was a bonding experience! He seemed so happy when I finally got it off too. I will reward him tonight by moving him up to my now emtpy 40g long, an nice upgrade from the 20g long.

Hey i know the feeling, its touching. sometimes when i help my guy shed it looks like hes having so much trouble, but then when i do it for him, he just kiks back and takes advantage of me doing the work! you snake is truely lucky to have u!
