Tail shed

My corn shed this morning....it was a beautiful shed, eye caps and all, except the very tiny tip of his tail did not shed. He is 31 to 32 inches long, and only about 1/8 to 1/16 of an inch did not shed. The husbandry is set up correctly, and his tank is around 40% humidity; he has a nice water bowl where he soaks from time to time. I understand that the tail can fall off and blood flow can be restricted to the area that does not shed. I know that it seems like a tiny area of skin, but do you guys think shed-ease or something similar would be the best route. His tail is so sensitive, I don't want to irritate it. Thanks in advance for any advice.
