Give him a hide box with moist not wet peat moss in it. This will act as a humidity chamber should help him shed whole completes sheds.

Should be able to get it at wal-mart still.. If no you want to go to a nursery or some place that sells planting supplies. If you can't find it you can go to a craft store and by green moss and moisten it to do the same thing.
