Gerry, what I do when I know a snake is going into shed mode and it is not quite himid enough or they are not in a "humid-hide" to ensure that doesn't happen, I'll lift up the plastic hide they ARE under and spray it real good with a fine misting bottle, then the snake itself once or twice and also spray the heck out of the enclosure lid if they have one (and it isn't a lidless rack container). If this is done about two days AFTER the eyes TOTALLY clear up again from being blue/opaque, they always shed without a hitch.
