Next shed?

[ballpythonluvr]

My currently 9 month old ball python has only shed three times, twice when he was with the breeder before I bought him in December and once in the middle of January. Currently, he is slowly darkening and much like last time, the skin around his neck has loosened. There is no evidence of eye hazing yet, do you think he is close to shedding?

Sounds like a shed cycle is about to occur. My female normal is the exact same way right now and she is going into a shed cycle.
