As Steve says, they need putting in a 'shed box' or wet bag. The skin should come off in one piece, inside out, like peeling off a sock!
I think perhaps you are keeping them too dry.... at too low a humidity. Can you describe their enclosure? Or better still. post a picture?

Got them in a "shed box" now,hopefully everything will pull thru, no pun intended.Enclosure wise I got them in 3 separate plastic critter cages inside the house ,temp maintained at approx.75 F.I use a plastic doggy dish that serve as hide too,hollow space underneath the doggy dish.I'm not sure about humidity setting though.I'll take a pic soon of my set-up.

I've never had that happen with the birthing shed (1st shed). It always comes off in pieces, (just a few) even if the snakes are quite damp. The skin is thin and weak compared to subsequent sheds. No biggie though. Just make sure that it all comes off of each and every one of them.

I don't know about other species but my concinnus babies have always refused food for a week, sometimes two, before finally eating. Can't hurt to offer them food every couple of days, starting at day 3 though.

Some babies won't take water from a dish too. Something to keep in mind. A good misting with a spray bottle and plenty of damp hides isn't a bad idea in the first month. many of my babies that wouldn't drink from a dish, would drink the drops that collect from the misting. They get over that pretty quickly and start drinking from the dish.(A margarine container lid with a little water in it)

The fact that the babies were found dehydrated gives me an opportunity to give some advice. If you're expecting babies from your snake, it's a good idea to maintain a hide or section of the enclosure lined with damp paper towels. Make sure there is a moist place for babies when they finally meet the world. Once they are born, mist them once or twice a day. They seem to enjoy it and can be seen drinking drops off of each others' bodies. crumpled piles of damp newsprint or paper towels for the babies is highly recommended.

NEVER use dry newspaper or similar absorbent material in an enclosure for an expecting female. Babies tend to to stick to it. It sucks the moisture out of their membranes and they get stuck inside and die.
