I was just wondering if anyone has an idea as to the length of an etb's shed cycle?

Up to 2 weeks perhaps. They take some time to shed.
They go from that milky/blueish appearance to normal again for some 3-5 days before they finally shed.
So if your has been back to normal for 2-3 days, you may want to mist the cage.

Yes this shed cycle was much longer. Finally it attempted to shed, but it only removed the skin from its head. I gave it a nice soak and was able to remove the rest of its skin. Day time high is at 82F and I have been keeping the humidity at 88% during the day for the season, (normal for me is 80% humidity during the day). The snake is otherwise normal and feeding fine. I'm not sure what's going on.
