What is the humidity reading in the terrarium? If it's less than 50%, the LARGE bowl mentioned above may be sufficient to both raise the humiksity level and provide a way that your snake call fully immerse itself in water, which many like to do before the shed. Some substrates can actually lower the humidity, and aspen can do this, while cyprus can actually increase it.

If the large water bowl doesn't suffice, I'd go for a shedding hide. Misting can also be done, but I like to stay away from increased maintenance if the other methods work...
