Well one of my snakes only shed about 3/4 of the way. Now what should I do? Just wait and see if he gets the rest off?

You can put in a humid hide, try bathing him, try holding a damp/wet paper towel and have him slither through it. A few suggestions anyway. Good luck.

Are you keeping an eye on your humidity? If your humidity is low, in general, you can try using cypress mulch for substrate; it holds humidity better than aspen. I use cypress and keep the screen covers about 3/4 covered with plastic. This maintains my humidity around 45-50%, and I get perfect sheds from my corns.
