when my ball python gets hung up in a shed, i take a plastic container and make a snake sauna. i put him in the container, add a little warm water to the bottom and wrap him in lukewarm wash cloths. i leave him in there for about twenty mins. re-warming the cloths. this usually works to soften the shed. if your snake is large, plop him in the bath tub with warm h2o. if the shed is soft enough after the sauna you can gently wipe it away with the cloths. be sure to check that the eye caps are off.

Also depending on the kind of terrarium you have the snake in, you could try this.

If they're in a glass terrarium:
Cover the top in saran wrap to help keep humidity inside. Glass ones in particular have a hard time keeping moisture inside, they're a little dryer than a plastic tub. Fill up their water, and add a second water bowl inside on the warm, and cool side too to also add in more moisture. Spritz occasionally, just be sure you don't soak the substrate or you could get mold.

If in a plastic tub:
Do the two water bowl options, and spritz a little more often. You can use something simple like newspaper at the bottom if you want if doing it this way, you'll avoid the mold risk. Plastic tubs keep moisture better than glass terrariums.

If you're handling them, have a bit of warm, moist washcloth in your hand for them to slither over. The wet and texture can also help them get the skin off.
