well harry had been in blue all last week and his eyes had been clear for 3 days so was expecting a shed, got up this morning to find it lying there in his viv - looked good but on picking it out i had to unroll the head as it was all in a ball - found the eye caps and then to the tail and realised the very tip was missing. Managed to find harry (he was hiding in the aspen somewhere) and on close inspection i could see the retained tip, some damp kitchen roll and a few slides later it was off - he's now a very beautiful boy, again!

Nicely spotted on the tail tip. My snakes first shed's head was similar to your, was slightly rolled up. Thankfully i missed the shed by about 30mins so the shed was still moist and was easily unrolled.

Glad it went well!
