Snakes, as well as other animals, need humidity to shed there skin. It helps soften and losen up there skin.

Try putting a tuperware container( with lid, and small hole cut in the side) with moist news paper over/under your heat source. This will give your critter a place to go to seek out more humdity.

Always your snake will be fine.
