Put him in a little bowl of tepid water for a while, then make sure to keep plenty of water in the cage for humidity. Should shed just fine! misting also helps if you are in an arid location.

SHOULD I MIST THE ENTIRE ENCLOSURE OR JUST THE BALL?

Just the ball, but make sure the mist is warm, not hot, and not cold

shedding tip

After your snake's eyes have turned grey and then cleared, soak a rag thoroughly, ring it out a little and place it in a warm area within your snake's habitat.Then cover the ventilation of the container with a thin cloth or something similarly breathable. Due to the high buil-up of humidity, your snake's skin should sucessfully slide right off within a matter of days!

You may want to consider misting areas of the balls tank. I have noticed that NONE of my balls look like they want to be sprayed. I think it would be best to mist the enclosure and try to keep the humidity around 55-60%.
