Well a two foot snake is grossly underfed if you're gving it two pinkies per feeding. That snake should be fed weaned mice.
Are the scales clear? If so, it's old skin that hasn't been shed. Snakes can retain old skin even after multiple sheds. I'd put the snake in a plastic container with damp paper towels overnight (make sure the container has air holes). This will help enable the snake to get rid of the scales that are sticking to it.
Aspen absorbs humidity, so my guess is that your snake does not have the proper humidity to shed in one piece. You can solve this by adding a humidity hidebox to the cage when the snake is in a shed cycle.
