Its sounds like it could be a stuck shed. Do you have a humid hide in his cage? You can try giving him a bath, that my help get the stuck shed off and may also help the blockage pass (if that is what it is). Pictures would also be a great help. A trip to the vet is probably a good idea.

Ya for the bath just let him swim around the tub for a few minutes. You can easily make a humid hide by using any type of plastic container and just add some moist moss. here is an example of what I use for my snakes. Attachments:

You can get it from a florist as well.

Some garden centers have orchid moss or sphagnum moss.
If he shows interest in eating then maybe you should feed him. But then you wont be able to do any significant handling for about 24hrs.

It sounds like he is in pretty bad shape. I would try to get him to a vet.

You can help him shed by slowly peeling the skin off him. You can gently rub it off with damp paper towel

Go buy some long stemmed tweezers and keep at it.
