If it's not wrapped around his neck where it might cause an issue you can bump humidity or mist him. Probably come off on it's own. Or you can mist a few times and then after a few days peel it off gently.

I only worry of if it's on their eyes or face or tail tip. Just a small piece on the body won't hurt him. My snakes seems to shed ok usually. My crestie sometimes has stuck shed so peel it off gently after spraying her a few times. She is getting better about running away from me.
