Place the snake in a rubbermade tub with a warm wet towel. Do not soak the towel, but make sure it's nice a moist. Place the snake between the layers of the towel and this will usually work the skin off as the snake crawls through it. This time of year, humidity needs to be bumped up a little more due to the dry air. Good luck.
