there's nothing you can do about it except sit and wait, you can't hurry it along
like BE says the frequency of shedding is determined by the growth rate, which in turn is determined by the feeding regime |

No, don't worry, it could be another month or 2 still. It depends on the individual snake and how much they're growing. |

Younger corns shed more than Fully grown Corns becasue they are growing more and therefore will shed about once a month. Keep an eye out for any signs of shedding, for instance;
Skin turning a pale colour
Eyes turning blue/misty
He may go off food during this time but may not.
I wouldn't worry to much, if he needs to shed he probably will do
Remember to keep a record so you can refer back to it in situations like these  |
