    Confine him for a while in a ventilated 'critter cottage' with a very damp towel- he may work it off himself, but if not, it should soften with increased humidity & it's up
    to you to help him get it off. Gently restrain his head, be both gentle & firm, & above all persistent. Lack of photo doesn't help, but sounds like the old skin is just a
    little stained, but it does NEED to come off. Be sure you always check that eye-caps & tail tips shed properly too. Might be time to re-evaluate the humidity in his
    enclosure, & maybe offer a humid hide (midway between warm & cool ends of cage) & be sure to check it every few days so it doesn't dry out.
    Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.

    The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” ~ Gandhi
