Check the humidity levels in his tank, you may have to raise them a little when hes getting ready to shed.

One very easy way to raise the humidity, is put a small pot of water over the top of the heat mat.

Here's how to get the rest of the shed off, which you should do ASAP:

For right now, take a wet washcloth (lukewarm, not hot water) and simply let him crawl through it while you hold the towel around him. That should help him by letting him rub off the offending skin. Good luck!

When the snakes in shed mode I put the water bowel on the heat mat side, covered the lid with a blanket and provided a moist hide for the snake using moss. This was my snakes first shed with me and it was perfect.
