Should I take him out for water or leave him alone

I just need help whether to take him out or leave him to shed. He hasn't gotten water for a few days and he is in his third day since blue eyes.
 
He should always have a bowl of fresh water in the tank with him. He'll find it when he wants to drink.
 
He needs clean water at all times. I don't understand why you took it out.
He does not need your help to shed, snakes have been shedding without human help since time began.

Sounds like water's there, snake just hasn't come out from its hide to drink.

Like others said, he'll drink when thirsty. Mine never come out until shed/poo time.
 
My snakes always have a bowl of water in their tanks, but I like to take them out and give them a drink right after they shed.

I would definitely just leave him alone until he's done shedding, though. :)
 
I've seen Xia drink once on her own. On occasion, I'll show her the water dish by putting a small portion of her in the dish like, the tip of her tail. After she realizes that water is there, she'll gulp it up for quite a long time.

But yes, I'd leave him alone.
