If your enclosure has enough humididty then you should be ok. If you find that your snake is not sheding completly, you can get one of those plastic sweater boxes with a top. Fill it about half way with luke warm water and put the snake in with the top on for about 20 minutes. When you dry the snake off some of the skin will come off. If you need to, do it again the next day. Sometimes the caps don't come off on my ball. If that happens then I take a wet wash cloth and genlty rub it over his eyes. This usually does the trick.
