honestley i wish i could but i dont think hes healthey enof. the reason i think this is because i believe he was in there for a couple of days without food but i will release him as soon as possible. are their any other things that i could do to help him shed faster?

yes, if you want to help him shed put him in a shallow dish of warm water for a few minutes and see if the skin will come off easier, or you could put him in a container with warm water soaked paper towels for 30 minutes, the increased humidity will loosen the skin. otherwise just make sure he has plenty of basking time under some kind of uv source...good luck!!!
