He started To sHed n then stopped

so it's in sections..
: if so spary water in the tank. thats what i do. it will come off,
and when you think hes about to shed again,
spray water in and it should come off in one piece.

I've been doin that for a weeknir so n still no good

i'd say just keep doing it daily and it should be good.. remember spray all around tank..

If it's been more than a day or so, you need to intervene more directly. Soak a tea towel or pillowslip in lukewarm water and wring it out, then wrap up your snake in this and hold him in it for a while (perhaps between commercial breaks on TV). Then let him wriggle out, hopefully removing the retained shed. Use the damp cloth to gently rub off whatever is still left on his body. Be sure to get every bit off - especially on the tip of the tail. Next time he's coming into shed, spray the enclosure with water daily from the time his eyes cloud up until he sheds.

Also try to make sure its water bowl is big enough to fully immerse in and is near a heat source so that it is warm
