wait as long as it takes to shed...this sometimes happens, it normally happens for two main reasons:

1. Mite infestation
2. Poor health

In either of these situations the snake is already in a stressed state, feeding or attempting to feed them can and probably will make it worse most of the time.

My suggestion is to just wait it out keep your husbandry perfect and see a vet if needed.
