Hi there!
Theres quite a few ways to help your snake shed. Moisture is the key here... You want to get your humidty levels upto around 40-60%. Provide a nice moist area for your snake to use, You dont want it to be too moist as this can cause scale rot. Damp Spaughnam moss is good for this. Shouldn't be so wet that there is water dripping off it, But just damp enough that if you squeeze it there will be a bit of leakage.
Alterantively, you can use a damp towel/flannel.
Also make sure you provide a rough surface that your snake can rub against to help break the skin from the tip of its nose, then move along to pull its shed down.
