When he goes into shed mist the cage and the substrate and observe how long it takes for the mist to dry up. If it lasts at least six hours then that is good air circulation, if not, them maybe it is too dry in there. Also, mist the snake itself in a slow gentle manner after his eyes turn blue and he starts the end of his shed. A piece of glass over the tank and replacing a hot lamp with a tube also keeps the humidity at a better level. Diet could be the problem also so feed your food a healthy diet before offering it to the snake. Good Luck.
