shedding question

hi everyone,
My corns eyes went milky blue for a few days, obviously indicating an imminent shed, but they cleared nearly three days ago now and still no shed?! Has my snake missed a shed? I didn't think this was possible if the milky blue and greyish skin phase had passed and the eyes had then cleared?! Shedding has always happened within about a day of the eyes clearing for my corn.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks :)
 
There's often a 3 to 5 day period between the milky eyes and the actual shed, during which the snake's eyes look normal. I wouldn't start worrying just yet, just keep monitoring humidity, (keep it a tad higher than normal)
 
cheers for your help, iv put the water dish on the heated side of the tank now so this should increase humidity a bit. Thanks again....:)
 
The longest mine's gone is 6 days with clear eyes before I found a shed, which was nothing to do with humidity, I guess he just wasn't ready :).

Word of warning re: moving the water bowl - you'd be surprised just how much of a difference that can make. Watch out for condensation, you don't want it to get too humid in there either :)
