Shedding Concern

I am a new corn snake owner & first time snake owner. We have had "Buddy" for about 5 weeks now. He's doing great. I figure he's about 4-5 months old, about 16" . When we got him he was bing fed 1 pinkie every 5 days and we have been feeding him 2, 1X a week which he takes no problem.
My concern is he shed about 2 weeks before we purhchased him and has showed no sign of a shed yet.
Should I be worried?
 
If I'm not mistaken, corns usually shed once every 1-2 months. Give him a little while. He'll shed in his own time. Just make sure the humidity is around 40-50% and his water bowl is full.
 
He'll shed in his own time. Keep an eye out for his eyes going milky, after they clear up he'll shed in a couple of days.
