    Shed start or burn?



    Someone help! I can’t tell the difference if he’s starting to shed or if its a burn, I checked my husbandry and nothing seems to be wrong!

    I would go with shed. The color change is often dramatic on light-colored snakes.

    Looks just like our pastel banana boi a few days ago. He's in his blue phase as of last night, so my vote is for shed.

    I'm gonna say shed, that belly is really pink which is usually a sign of shed.

    Thanks for the replies everyone! He seems to be more of a shy boy than usual so I guess he is going into a shed!

    It looks like shed to me. He might be more shy because his eyes are probably fogged over. Make sure to bump humidity and let him be until he finishes shedding.
