I've found it can be very hard to see, but if you look very closely you should be able to see a thin line where the unshed skin begins. You might be able to feel a bit of difference. I use a cloth soaked in luck warm water and grasp the snake in the cloth, letting him gently work his way out, keeping enough pressure that loose skin will be pulled off, but not so hard as to injure him. A dark cloth helps to let you see the skin when it comes off. It is possible that the tip broke off from the shed, but it might be best to pass the snake through a cloth a few times.
