Hot spot should be about 90 with an ambient of 80 ish. If he is suuuuper wrinkly it may be a stuck shed. By "just went back to normal color" so you mean like today? Mine usually sheds about 2 days after her eyes go back. What is your humidity at?

They get kind of "loose" looking just before they shed. As long as you aren't finding broken shed all over and stuck pieces to the snake, I wouldn't worry until you find the shed. They will also open their mouth to loosen the skin and then start rubbing their nose on stuff to break the skin and then slowly "walk" out of it to say. And also I would bump the warm side up a few degrees. Cool side is fine though. Also now would be a good time to bump the humidity up to a 50-70% if you already don't have it that high. I personally keep my humidity between 50-60% all the time and mine sheds fine all in one piece.
