Cresties shed on variable schedules. Also, they typically shed at night and eat the skin, or at least most of it. Sometimes all I see as a keeper is that my crestie will look a bit pale for a few days, but no other sign. If you never see your gecko shed, that's not a bad thing; rest assured if he's eating and active that he is also shedding.
Yup, my crestie has been caught munching on his skin a few times since I've had him. Sometimes 3AM, sometimes an hour within turning off his lights.
Normally around his toes is where I can tell that he shed recently as he doesn't do the best job getting that skin off all the time.

I can tell a shed is coming from the paleness like Aimee said. I've caught both of my cresties rubbing against their ledges to get the shed off and then watched them eat it.
hes pale some times, but then goes very very dark as well. i cant tell when hes shedding or even if. hes in a 10g fish tank for now so i see him every morning and night easily. guess if hes healthy and eating then hes fine. i know he lives up to his name Chomper, cause when i put small crickets in there he goes into predator mode so fast it makes me wonder if hes starving.
