Looking at the notes on feed dates and shed dates we got from the shop we bought Flakes from, He/she will be due to shed around the 20th August any advice? I know we have to check the tip of the tail and the eye area have all come away.

Snakes don't shed like clockwork, its rarely exactly one month apart.

Agreed with gmac on this one. Theres no need to bath your corn unless absolutely nessesary and you dont know how he sheds yet. Chances are he will shed ok and in one piece without any intervention from you. Just let him go through the process this time and act if you need to ie if there is any retained shed etc. Good luck with it and hope you get to see it AS I HAVENT YET :( LOL

Dont bath your corn it is not necessary, corns generally dont require assistance shedding. As this will be his first shed with you just let at happen naturally. If there is any retained shed normally letting your corn run through a damp cloth will be enough to remove the leftovers

the eyes will go misty blue, then they will go clear so don't think omg where's his shed its normal :) keep handling to a minimum and give him a bath every other day in some shallow but warm water, more on the cold side though :) hope i helped :)
