Unhappy patchy shed

Hey all, I hope someone can help. I have a pretty young ball python, about 1.5 feet long, and he just shed for the first time since I got him, apparently he shed just before I got him about 2 months ago. Anyway, it wasn't a good shed it was patchy, it took him like 3 days to shed most of his skin and he still has a patch of skin right on the back of his head that doesn't look like it is going anywhere. He has a good apetite, I just fed him 3 fuzzies, and he ate 3 1.5 weeks ago. The humidity is 50% on the side of the tank that has the water dish and 82degrees on the other side of the tank where I have a heat lamp. I also have a columbian boa in with him (it's a large tank) and the snakes are relatively the same size, my boa has never had a problem shedding, she has shed twice. What should I do? Could he have parasites or what?
