Shedding and pooping

So I have a question about shedding and about pooping. both my corn snakes have been working on shedding, both have the really blue eyes going on. now today I picked one of them up and his skin looks a lot lighter than I thought, also his eye seems lighter but still foggy. now the thing i'm worrried about is that he shed his skin but there is still some skin on his head. I checked the cage and can't find any skin....so now i'm not sure if he did shed or not. I did hear something about them going white right before they shed. could that be what is going on?

Now the pooping question. I have had these 2 snakes for about 3 weeks now and only ones I have found poop. the poop looked completely normal to me (I looked at the poop thread). They both have eaten a full adult mouse so far. now should I be worried that they haven't pooped any more than that? I did give them a bath ones too btw.
 
Snakes do go clearish aftet they go blue. Then they shed a few days later. Some snakes poop less or more then others I have heard of snakes pooing once a month or once a week and some only after a shed. I wouldn't worry if I was you.
 
Just checked them again, they haven't lost their shed yet, but they did gain a little weight since last week. so I guess that is a good sign.
I'm expecting them to loose their skin in the next 2 or so days. but we'll see
