it varies between snakes..
generally once the eyes go blue its is 2-3 days before they clear up again, after that it can be anywhere between 3days up to 12 days before they actually shed..maybe slightly longer
i think that was what you were asking?

over the winter period they do tend to slow their mechanisms down - my corn edison shed the other day and normally he sheds the day after going blue but this time round he took 4days..its normal
is he a red eyed snake? if he has red eyes then they tend to take on a pinkish/grey tinge rather than a blueish one that darker eyed snakes do
