My hoggy doesn't shed nearly as much as my corn, and from what I've read on this forum, that seems to be normal. I also find it harder to spot when he's about to shed because he is naturally "dull" rather than shiny, but his belly does go blue and his eyes cloud over.
As long as he's healthy and happy, I wouldn't worry about it.

Ahh I'm so relieved... thought my little one had cheated me and I just hadn't found the shed xD
He shed last month, but can read inhere it's quite normal that they don't shed as frequently as corn snakes etc.
