Missing shed skin... did he eat it?

About 4 days ago my 3 month old corn was very much ready to shed his skin. His eyes were glazed over and his skin was obsoulty ready to come off. And about two days ago I noticed it looked like he shed his skin. His glazzedness disapeared and his colors were bright. He also felt like he shed, his scales felt fresh.

I looked ALL over the viv for the skin. Every last bit of substrate. I littlery siffed the viv over twice looking for it. Its disapeared. Where could have it gone? Could of he have eaten it?

Also: He regurated his last meal, I think it might of been stress related because I was handling him before I feed him and he was in shed. He regured about 24 hours after I feed him. I wont feed him for another week like the sticky says. I noticed in his regure there was a itty bitty part of the mouse before the last mouse. I feed him every 4 days and the lump in his belly doesnt even last two days.

Any ideas?
 
Snakes go clear right before they shed, looking as if they have shed. So dont worry, he actually hasnt shed yet. Wait about 10 days then offer the smallest meal item you can find, if the regurge was a single incident that I would think it would have to do with stress; I have a few hatchlings that has sometimes regurged if fed during a shed.
