Shallow warm water bath? I think I've read something like that somewhere and it's what I'd do with my snakes if it came to any such trouble in case they wouldn't shed their eyelids.

But look here, I think they have some advice:

Get a tupperwear and put in some warm moist papertowels and put him in there (in a warm place) and let him "soak" in the humidity for a few hours, then peel it off. :D
Leos need a moist place to shed. If they are too dry the skin will stick sometimes causing toes to die if they cant get the skin off.
