I wouldn't worry, it should shed any day now. Sometimes it can take a little while. If you want you can keep records on things like, shedding, feeding or refusing, regurging, basking, soaking, etc. That way you can go back and see if there are behavior patterns over the months/years. I couldn't imagine not keeping records with my snakes, although I didn't use to. Hope that helps.

Thanks alot fo the reply that same night he shed so i am well pleased. i know i must be a pain in the arse but i have to ask so i dont go wrong. In about 2 weeks i am getting a corn snake and my question is can i house him with my bull or will there be conflict? thought i would ask as if i cant i will purchase a tank for the corn on the same day i get him.

I would recomend keeping them seperate. They could be housed together temperarily(or indefenitly for that matter), but like I said it's always better to keep snakes seperate. Especially different species.
