Yet another shedding problem

Ahh the age-old shedding problems.
Really just a quick query - have aquired two new adult corns, both of which have shed since they have been in their new home (this was back in august) The younger of the two (2 years approx) went through his blue phase at the beginning of the week but has yet to shed. He has been clear and colourful (eyes, skin) for the past two days or so, almost as if he has bypassed his shed?
IS this considered rapid shedding, and is it anything to worry about?

Two days of clear after the blue phase is not unusual. Three or four days is normal. No need to worry.
 
I agree. Also don't worry about shedding too often. I had a two year old shed exactly 20 days apart this spring for no reason. The most I would do is check the snakes over for mites or other problems that might be causing him to shed so much.
