shedding advice please

I have only had my corn for 2 weeks he is just about 6mnths old I have just been to get him out and I can see that his eyes are blue so I know that he is about to shed, he is kept in a shoe box size container (clear plastic with a lid and air holes in each side) size is 12"x6"x4"high, I keep it inside a larger viv it is half on a heat mat with a thermostat probe inside to keep hid temp at 82%-85%, he has a piece of kitchen towel on the floor, with a small bowl of water and a toilet roll centre for him to go in if he wants, the thing I would like to be advised on is, should I do anything to help his shed like damp the container or anything, I am a bit nervous as this is my first ever snake and I have never seen a snake shed before as his eyes are blue and his skin is kind of silvery how long will it be before he starts? Hope this isn't a silly question..
