Shed?

The last couple of sheds my ball python had werent so good (Didnt catch the change in her eye colour). Well this shed, i did catch. I was spraying that enclosure down maybe twice a day. When she shed, everything was fine, did it all in one peice. When i went to go handle her the next day i noticed that she didnt get the shed off her head.
Can anyone give me nytrickes how to get it off, or why she didnt get it off herself?
Thanks,
-Reptilez

Soak her, put her in a rubbermaid with a few inches of lukewarm water and leave her there for a while. If you can, tease it off gently, or she may remove it herself.

I've heard that if you put her in a rubber maid (or like enclosure) with a wet towl and enough heat, over night then it should be off in the morning.....

The above suggestions are good. As far as why it didn't come off the head, snakes usually rub on something to peel the skin off so maybe she started to rub below the head.
