Long blue cycle?

I'm wondering if its odd for a ~30g snake to stay in blue for over a week?
Hes been in blue for ~9 days now, where he usually only stays like that for only a few before clearing up before the final shed. I'm just a bit concerned because I don't feed during sheds so he hasn't eaten in ~14 days.

Going to update in case anyone has this issue again:

30g, 10 month old, Reverse Okeetee, always perfect sheds in the past. Went into blue and stayed there for 16 days

Solution: I finally decided it was time to take some sort of action and fed him a half a meal (hes on 2 fuzzy's atm, so thats one fuzzy) and see what happens. Today I woke up and he had shed, I assume that eating cause the skin to stretch enough to jump start the process again. Not a perfect shed though, his skin on the tail (behind the anus) was still on and had to be soaked in a wet towel and pulled off (the 1.5 in of skin came off in three pieces)
 
Edit: Location: Mississippi delta, humidity >60% daily, tank humidity 60%. No moist hide (due to tank humidity and size) though there will be one there w/in a week.
