If his eyes have cleared and his skin has lost its grey palour then he will shed his skin in the next two days. Make sure he has a bowl of damp moss or a bath big enough for him to submerge in his viv and he will shed no problem for you.
care sheets are free on my web site

Be patient and keep up the humidity. It will happen soon, within the next couple of days.

Also...
"Get some spaghnum moss and moisten it and put it in a hide for the snake. This not only provides moisture, but will also creat a humid hide to help loosen the skin. Also, it helps at time to give them a warm "bath". Just get a basin or tub and put a little warm water in it. WARM, not hot, be sure of that. And just enough to come up about half way of your snake. Let him soak a little and that will help to loosen the skin. Make sure the eyecaps come off when it does shed."

this happened to me once, this isnt because he is getting ready to shed, it was probably not humid enough in the tank and his skin was drying out then it got humid and his skin returned to normal, (make sure you spray his tank with warm water about every two days so make sure that the bedding stays damp so it will stay humid. if you are keeping it humid and his skin starts turning dull it meens that he is ready to shed.
he probably is going to get ready to shed just keep it nice and humid for him.

another cause of this may have been that the tank was cold and damp. here is a care sheet:
