Ok so he finally shed last night  Got up at about 3am because I couldnt sleep, had a little peek and I saw the shed hehe.
Yesterday 
Perfect shed I think o.O. Just to clear things up a little cos im a bit confused about the shedding problems to do with the eyes. How do you tell if a bit is left over? Is it just the scales around the eye, or there a peice from over the actual eye that gets shed too? 
Another quick question, after each shed, do they tend to get lighter in colour, or can they sometimes get darker too? So anyway, here he is now

there is scale over the eye, in the shed you want to make sure that they are both there. There shouldnt be any issues though as it looks like the shed has come off really well.
Also check the tip of hte tail too.,

Ah yeh I see now, thanks Sloth I had a look at the shed last night and it seemed like there were gaps where the eyes were, but I had a closer look just now and there is a very thin layer there, so all good

As for getting lighter/darker.. A snake becomes more and more like it's adult colouration with each shed. So it depends on what they're meant to turn out like.. I think.
