Shedding times

Hi guys

My corn normally sheds every 4 to 6 weeks and its been taking about a week from first signs of shedding (which is her hiding herself away and not coming out at all plus the usual milky eyes, not feeding) to actual shedding.

However this shed seems to be taking ages. She's been holed up in her log for best part of a fortnight. I keep lifting the log and checking on her and each time I just notice her eyes are milky, she stares at me and does the usual 'get away from me' kind of thing! So I just put the log back down and leave her to it.

Any suggestions? Does it take longer to shed as they get bigger? Is it normal for them to hide away for a couple of weeks?

Current check on the setup shows my temp at 80'C and my humidity at 60% - its 08:50 and the light has been on for about 30-50 minutes.

Thanks for your help.
