Usually after the eyes clear up, they'll shed within 24 hours.
Make sure either the humidity is high enough in the tank, or make a humid hide.
Just take a tupperware bowl your snake can fit into, cut a hole big enough in the side or top, take a warm wash cloth, paper towels, or some even use moss (I use a clean wash cloth) and put it in there on the warm side. There should be some instructions on this in the DIY thread, or just do a search for humid hide.
Also, make sure both eyecaps and the tip of the tail come off in the shed.
If they don't, let us know.
Hope this helps!

Not necessarily... I have snakes who, after going clear, take about 2-4 days to shed. Especially my Miami. She's notorious for going close to a week after clearing up with no shed. Maybe she's just crazy. Everything else was good advice, though.
Another option, if you don't want to make a humid hide, you can mist the viv. It's very simple, and should be done once or twice a day.

Oh yeah! I forgot about misting. Brain fart.
And, I thought about the fact that some take longer after I already hit post.
Dex usually sheds within 24 hours, so I guess I was speaking from my own experience.

That's why the edit button is such a wonderful thing to have.
