Answer
The easiest thing to do to help your snake to shed is to get a container that your snake can easily fit into. I usually use something like a margarine or "cool whip" container, but you want the size to be able to fit the snake comfortably. Cut a hole in the side large enough for the snake to fit through. Fill the container about half full with either sphagnum moss, or even paper towels. Make sure that the moss / paper towels are damp but not soaking wet, then put the cover on the container if it has one. Place on the cooler end of your snake cage. The snake will seek out this cool, damp area when it needs to shed.
