mist the enclosure with a water bottle a few times if this does not work in a day or so (most of the time it will )
wet a pillow case with walm water abt 30deg and put him in there for a while
or
Soak him in a tub with walm water for a while and slowly and gently try and roll the skin off by letting it go through your hands if it does not come off reasonably easy back in the tub for another soaking.
water should be low enough that snake does not strugle to keep its head out
