If you're keeping him in a aquarium with a screen lid, I suggest you either partially cover the lid with some sort of plastic or something, or keep him in a rubbermaid of appropriate size. I find they have better sheds when in rubbermaids.
As well, when he stops being blue eyed, you could mist the cage every day once or twice. This will help raise the humidity.

Constant bad sheds are normally a care problem, a problem with your husbadry. Nothing bad but you need to correct the issue.
Like Bartman said, is this snake in a aquarium?

What I would do is set up a humid hide for one. A container with some moss, or wet paper towel which is available at all times to the snake.
Secondly, I would wait until I see blue eyes, and mist the cage directly 2-3 times per day...making it really wet when his eyes are blue and continuing this until he/she sheds. See how it goes.

P.S. Nice enclosure!

I like the tank. Thats great for him.
As we both suggested, just try to mist a lot next time. A humid box is also a great suggestion I missed
