Just make sure the temperature is appropriate and the humidity itself is staying up. Even if you spray the little guy 10 times a day, water is not the same as humidity. Plus, if you spray to much water you will run the risk of bacterial growth. I recommend 1 spraying per day in an enclosure that has minimal ventilation. Usually the vent will do better if it is at the bottom of the cage. This way, the humidity stays up, the snake is not soaked all the time, and the temperature stays regulated.

Sometimes not all of the skin will come of each shedding as well. If you don't want to stress him out, you can just let the leftover stick to him as it will come off with the next shed. If you dont think you will be stressing him, you can try to get some paper towels soaked in luke warm water and use those to remove the old skin. It won't come off in one piece and will take you a while but eventually it'll all come off.
