Yes, keep the humidity high. Thats about it. Just a few extra mistings maybe. Hell probably do this every week or two for a few months.

Should I spray him?

Don't spray directly at him, i mean some guys like it if you are far enough away with a really fine mist, but 99% of the time they don't. Just keep humid high add an extra misting a day or something. Resist the urge to "help" the guy along by picking bits off it will come off when its ready no matter how uncomfortable he looks. You will also notice him rubbing himself against branches etc so dont get worried about that. :]

Yes, you could. If I want to help I mist a little extra with warm water (each mister may be different, but if I put hot water in the bottle it'll spray out luke-warm, you don't want it to spray out hot) and this will help loosen the skin. Besides this there is not much else you can do. But you'll be surprised how quickly they can shed sometimes!
