My lovely fiance has a cornsnake named Peanut that used to do something similar when she was a youngster. On several occasions she would go into a shed cycle, become opaque, and come out without ever shedding her skin. A few weeks later she would repeat. About every three shed cycles or so she would actually slough off the old skins. On a few occasions she would shed a layer only to reveal an opaque looking layer underneath. Probably one of the strangest things I have ever seen. She seems to have grown out of it since she doesn't do it anymore. What kind of snake are you having this problem with? Hopefully he(she) will grow out of it too. Good luck.
Robert
