add damp hides to the enclosure for a few days (take out the usual hides) then a bath and towelling off
you could also try ShedEase or similar product

as this has gone on for at least 4 months if the above doesn't work i'd suggest getting the snake to an exotics vet before its tail goes necrotic and drops off.
