Blue glow

[allways.the.case]

So my python vex just recently went through a shedding process and now all of a sudden his scale reflect this blue hue that ive never seen before on him. Is there something wrong now that he has it? or is there something wrong with the fact that hes never had it before?
hes had no behavior changes just lazy as allways sitting in his hiding spot and moving for water at night

Well, either he was exposed to radioactive waste, or what you are seeing is known as irridescence (that COULD be spelled wrong!). I have one BP that is particularly irridescent and you can see different colors when looking at him. Here is a pic!

Ya thx I think you got it on irredecence cause your pic looks much similar except vex glows a whole lot more, espicially on his head. Ill try and get a pic to post within the next few days just really glad to know that its nothing ill.

Not that I can tell from what you are describing. Snakes can be really new and shiny looking after a shed. Post up some pics so we can see for ourselves!
