    Sasha became very dull in color

    So I took out Sasha today to check on her sore from her rubbing her head on most of the things on her enclosure. I pulled her out and she was very brown. But her eyes weren't blue. As far as I could tell her belly wasn't pink. Is this a sign of shedding? Here are some pictures of before and now
    Shes about that same color as in picture. It isn't the lighting

    Their colors will dull, their eyes only stay blue for a day or two, same with the bellies. If she's rubbing. It's likely shedding time.

    It can definitely be a sign of shedding. They get dull and sometimes with a pink belly sometimes not for a few days and then you will start to see her eyes cloud over.

    Thanks guys. I've only seen shed once with me and I didn't notice the change. I hope for a good shed. I started to mist the tank down to get the humidity higher

    I've noticed my colubrids will do 'emergency sheds' when they have injuries. These sheds may go a little quicker and spend less time with blue eyes than a normal shed. That could be what you're seeing. Either way, nothing to worry about.

    Re: Sasha became very dull in color

    I'm guessing she is in shed. She bit me for the first time about 2 days agos. I bumped the humidity up and I egerly await the shed. So I can see if she has a mite problem or not still
