snake lost a scale

my snake lost a scale a while back and i thought she would just shed and it will get better cause there is no blood to i didnt think much of it but last shed i noticed there is a part of the dead skin attached to the wound. should i rip the shed off or wait for it to fall off?
 
Never rip anything off of your snake. Think of how you would feel if someone tried to rip a part of you off. Just let the skin come off on its own.

Didn't you post this once before? I seem to remember a very similar thread...
 
Don't rip it off... Unless you are one of those people who picks her scabs and enjoys it... haha. You can try using a damp towel and having her slither through it. That always does the trick for me whenever my guy has some skin left on. Otherwise, it will fall off naturally and with each shed, that missing scale will become less noticable.
