For most snake species the best way to deal with bad sheds is to keep your humidity around 60% all the time. Doing so will prevent 99% of bad sheds from ever occurring in the first place. Of course that is not always as easy as we would like it to be. Inevitably you are going to have to deal with a bad shed sooner or later. There are a few different methods I have used to deal with bad sheds over the years, but the following method has been hands down the most effective way to get rid of left over sheds.
All you will need is an appropriately sized plastic tub (Sterilite/Rubbermaid) with the lid, a hand or bath towel, a wash cloth and some warm water. You want the tub to be big enough for your snake to lay in comfortably. They don't need room to crawl around or stretch out in the tub, but just big enough to comfortably coil up in. Also, you don't need any air holes, the lid on the tub will leave enough of a gap to provide plenty of air for the short amount of time the snake will be in there.
First you need to fill the tub with enough warm water (not hot by any means, if you can measure the water temps, 85-90 degrees would be ideal) so that when you put your snake in it the water level will be about 1/2 the way up your snakes back. Your snake should be able to lay comfortably in the tub of water and not have to swim by any means.
Once you have the tub filled with water and your snake in the tub, put the lid on the tub and place the tub with the snake in it on the warm side of your snake's enclosure. This will keep the water and your snake warm and allow the water and warm moist air to loosen the left over shed. You will want to leave your snake in the tub like that for 45-60 minutes.
After the 45-60 minutes, remove your snake from the tub. Hold your hands firmly around the snake but loose enough that the snake can crawl through your hands, this should peel most of the left over shed right off. If you run into any problem areas take the wash cloth and dip it into the tub of water the snake was in and gently but firmly work on the problem areas with the wet wash cloth. After about 5-10 minutes your snake will start to get a little irritated with this. At this point use the hand/bath towel to thoroughly dry your snake and return him to his enclosure.
If all of the left over shed did not get removed, repeat this process in two or three days. Rarely have I had to do this procedure more than twice to get all of the left over shed removed from a snake.
