Shedding behavior

Hi there! So i'm not sure if i'm just over reacting but i'm beginning to become concerned about my lil corn. I think he's about to go through a shed but i'm not sure. here are my concerns... when i first got him, he was eating 2 pinkies per feeding, twice weekly. i put 2 pinkies in sunday evening, and he ate only one. i left the other one in there for a day (was frozen) and he still never ate it. he's also being very reclusive under his water bowl hide. I thought he might be beginning to shed, because when i pulled his water bowl out to change the water sunday and monday night, he was a rather duller, whited out color and his eyes were glazed over looking. i pulled the water bowl out so i could change it last nite and he was back to looking his normal coloring but there is no skin. is it possible that he just hasn't shed yet? I am gettin concerned as he has done anything since sunday when he ate, the one pinkie, the rest of his time, he just chills in his hide under the water bowl, which is also on the cooler side of the tank... i nver see him on the warm side.
 
Snake Shedding 101 - First the snake goes in "blue". Then the eyes clear and 1 or 3 days later the snake sheds it snake. Then the owner of the snake says "ooh my snake shed". Then the owner says "I need another snake".
 
So, Fatman, I guess I'm in real trouble. My first snake hasn't shed yet and I'm already planning who to get next. (g)
