I agree it can be hard to tell. Whenever I can't find the shed piece for the tail tip, I inspect it closely. It can be hard to see, kinda like trying to find the beginning of the tape on a roll that is stuck. What I do is hold the snake and soak its tail in some water for about 30 seconds. Then I take the damp cloth and gently grasp the tail with it and try to work the tail through it so that the towel rubs it in the opposing direction. That way, once it has soaked, it becomes easier to see and just slides right off. You may have to try a couple times but it usually works.
