Hey everyone,
Last night my snake shed, usally it comes off in one long piece. But this time it has come off in bits. This was during the night so i didn't notice until this morning that quite a big piece was still left on.

This is my first snake, so I'm not 100% sure on what to do to get it off. If someone could give me any idea's it would be much appreciated

Thank You
Hannah :)
