Question about a shed

Hiya! A first time snake owner. I'm not sure if this is the right forum page to ask/post this, but I've got a question about my young little corn, Leeroy's, shed.

(Sorry if the photos are not the greatest quality, only have a phone)

This is his second time shedding, the first time went smoothly, but this one he's missing an eye cap and his whole head.

He did just shed about 20 minutes ago and I actually had a chance to watch him do so!
Right after he was done shedding, I picked up his shed and as looking at it and noticed there was no head skin, only 1 eye cap came off.

The strange thing is, I picked him up but it looked like it was a complete shed, no extra layer of skin or anything, looked like he shed in once piece.

I guess the main point of this post is if that piece of skin is still on him, would it do any damage or get in the way of his next shed or growing of any sort?

I'm sure he'll be fine, I guess I'm just a worrying first time owner >.<
Thanks!
 
If that piece of skin were on him, you'd see it on him.

Tell me more about how you tried to attach the pictures. Maybe I can help.

Welcome and best wishes on your new snake.

the red text is what you need to add to make your imgur link work. I looked at your source and figured it out.

Your snake looks fine as far as the head shed goes, but what's that white square on him?
 
Thanks for all the replies, I would have thought if it was still on him I'd see it, but I've seen this forum a lot from my researching about corn snake care and what not.
So I figured I'd join and ask :D

Oh and that little square on him is from his substrate, I use aspen Lizard Litter.
 
Yup, you'll be poking around one day and the other piece of head-shed will just magically appear in the substrate. It's happened to me twice now that I searched and searched and couldn't find it, and then a couple of weeks later it was *right there* in front of me.
