Little patch of "left over" skin ?

A few days back, my snake came out of blue and was due to shed.So,,being that her tank humidity is kinda low,(35%) I set up her cool side cave hide with some moist moss.After showing her the way,she hung out in there for a day and a half.She popped out at night and shed.Looked to be complete,,But,today when I was taking her out to feed I noticed a small patch of old skin on her back.Its like 1/8" by 1/8".
My question is,how long should I let it go,,before taking it off my self.I just fed her,so i don't want to handle her for at least 2 days.
What do you guys think ?
 
You could probably let it go and be just fine. But what I would do for such a small piece is just get a q-tip and put a little warm water on it and dap it on the old skin. Let is soak up the water for a min or two and it should come off just fine.

For larger pieces, get a paper towl or two and fold it over a couple of times and then put some water on it and let the snake crawl through the moist paper towel. The dry skin should come right off.
 
Thanks guys,,i kinda thought it wouldn't be too big a deal,considering the size.She has retreated to her warm hide with a full belly so I'll give her a day before the Q-tip wipe down". :crazy02: thanks again
