I had the same prob with mine last week. Put him in a sealable tub, like a click clack with air holes and put a couple inches on warm water in it. Just enough to cover his body. Leave him in there for an hour, just check on it every so often. Put him back in his enclosure and hopefully it'll get to work.

if you're really concerned try to get in contact with a breeder of some advise or a good herp vet and take him in to be looked at. I've found the soaking works 90% of the time. They need to occasional assist tho.

I am going to temporarily pinch the attention of this thread with a question of my own.....
How often do snakes shed?

it varies, anywhere from 1 month to 2 it depends on how much you feed them. i have kept a log for my 18 month female and she is unpredictable sometimes monthly some times 6-8 weeks i just keep an eye on there skin to see if it is going white or loose and obviously for the eyes to change

Had the same prob with my childreni until recently. When i noticed the first signs of a shed coming on, i removed her log and replaced it with a tupperware container with a hole in the lid, with a few scrunched up damp paper towels. This allows to skin themselves damp and results in a perfect shed everything. After she shed i replaces the 'wet' hide with her usual hide

Use a small container with some warm water. Make sure there is something in it so your python cam keep its head out of the water. Leave in there for about 20 mins, keep an eye on it, then place him back in the enclosure, it should take the skin off itself.
