It's been 2 weeks... Your snake is still unable to shed.... please get it to a vet. Your snake's health is now at risk and it must be feeling pretty miserable...so I think it's too late to just see how it goes in its old tank...
Shed aid or shed ease is totaly not needed....ever.
Proper husbandry is the best. If that fails a warm bath with a soft cloth will work. If the shed will not come off after that go back and fix the husbandry and wait until next shed. A snake will not die from not shedding for 2 weeks. We had a member here remove 5sheds at once (if I remember correctly) from a rescued carpet. Again shed ease is a pet store ,newbie product nobody should waste there money on.
