I went on ebay and ordered a hygrometer for his viv and 30 seconds after I commited to buy I looked over and the skin was pulled back on his head.

Well I must say since this was the first time I have ever seen a snake shed it was a rather impressive sight.

15 mins later and I now have a perfect tip to tail one piece shed:



And his color is so much more vivid now:

Before:



After:



His shed measured 145 cm 5 mins after he finished so taking into account stretch about how long does that make him?

missed out the first line for some reason it should have started:

I was a bit worried that the humidity was too low because my corn had not shed yet even though his eyes cleared 4 days ago.

it does not make a lot of sense without it and trying to edit produces a VB script error for me.

Awesome to watch isn't it!
If you're concerned about humidity try putting his water in the warm end and you could also add a moist hide. Just pop some damp (not wet) sphagnum moss in a tub and use it as an extra hide.
They always look stunning when freshly shed.... your guy certainly does!!
