tip of tail have not shed, advice?

My snake shed a couple of days ago. I inspected the shed, and though it is in one piece, and the eyes shed fine, I noticed that the very wee last bit of the tail section is missing from the shed. The very last bit of the shed looks black, and the part covering the tip is not there. I suspect it may be on the snake and have had him soaked twice to try and treat it.

Here's the deal though, I've inspected him several times since the shed and his actual tail tip looks fine. I fail to see any bit of skins stuck at the tip, nor does the tip feel any different, before and after the soakings.

Since this is the first shed I've had to deal with, I got some questions. By the looks of the shed he may have a small piece of skin stuck to his tail tip, but his tail tip actually looks fine. Just what does a stuck shed looks like? I mean, it doesn't look or feel like there's anything there. Could it be that the tip broke off from the shed after he shedded, or that the shed was removed in one of his soakings?
