Exclamation Some MAYBE Urgent Questions!

Hello everyone, it's been a little while since I posted here! I have a question or two that I would like help with, but it may be ridiculous sounding, so please bear with me. I am feeling some actual genuine concern so even if it is absolutely ridiculous and I should not me worring please do not be too harsh with me. X'D

My big boy Qizil has only shed once since coming home here. Recently, his eyes went opague and he prepared for a second shed . . . But that was just around two weeks ago to this day.
I am almost ritualistically fussing with his humidity, spraying him down nearly twice a day (if not three times) and changing the damp towels at least twice a day to keep his humidity at proper levels-- ESPECIALLY right now!


-- Let me mention that Qizil has grown a bit more and is now around 7 1/2 feet long.
I do know that the bigger they are, the longer the shedding process takes. But it's been around two weeks since his eyes went blue/opague, and around one week since they cleared up again, and I am still ABSOLUTELY sure he hasn't shed his old skin off yet. His colors still look pale, and I haven't found a single little piece of shed skin in that cage.

Should I be worried and trying to assist him, like soaking him??

He doesn't have a "stuck" shed in the sense that he tried to shed and not all of it came off. He literally hasn't shed yet, and I am not sure if the amount of time it's taking him is too long. I am relatively new to taking care of snakes, and though I researched a ridiculous amount and continue to do so...I am a very paranoid snake mommy. X'D

I would like opinions, suggestions and the like, but please do not be too harsh I am just paranoid..! X'D I don't want my (my Dad's) big danger noodle to have problems!!
