Generally when hatchlings are growing they shed around once a month, so it'll depend on when his last shed was

Sometimes on the amel snakes, it may be hard to notice the signs of the snake being in blue. Like Janine said, it should shed about every 4 weeks, so it is only a matter of time before your snake sheds.

With the amels or other light colored snakes it is difficult to notice the blueing at first. But you will notice a bit of a haze over the eyes, it is more noticeable in pictures. I would imagine you are getting close though.

I have had my young amel for three weeks now and she had her first shed 1 week prior to my getting her. She has eaten 4 times total in life and I image I will get a shed in the next week or two.
