shedding problems

[twongstah]

i got my corn snake in august and it has shedded once since i got him. its in blue right now, but its been like that for 3 weeks now. and it worries me that he hasn't shedded. is it normal for some corn to stay in blue for more than 2 weeks? what can i do to help it shed?
i got another corn snake in august. they are brother and sister. and the sister has already shedded twice already.

please help.. thank you!

Does the snake have access to plenty of water?

Being in blue that long is not normal. You can mist the tank witha spray bottle or add a moist hide.

it has plenty of water. i check his water bowl everyday.

i can see that a piece of skin is coming off on the top of his head.

would it help if i let my snake slither around a wet towel?

If you can take him out of his viv and put him in a container with a wet towel that might help.

Or you could soak him for a bit in a bath of warm water, it should be warm but slightly cool to your touch. Don't let him "swim", it will stress him out, rather give him support with your hands.

How old is your snake?

A wet washcloth in the feeding bin (AKA the snake-o-bath) works wonders for shedding problems!
