I think Flora is going to shed soon she has gone pale but her eyes haven't gone cloudy yet and she's gone off her food I was just wondering if/when I should put moss into her viv?

after her eyes have gone blue and then cleared........increased humidity for too long can cause other health problems

I would wait and see how she sheds. Not all corns need moss to shed. Tynan sheds ok without moss, damp hides or any help but Sully always needs a damp hide.

i only ever provide a damp hide for shedding with the OAP corn who i know really struggles otherwise

Never used moss with any of mine, I do employ the odd pre-shed bath though

Something rough to rub against is a good idea. I have a lump of millstone grit (local rock) in the viv and Cash always rubs around it to help him shed..........
