Soooo I've noticed something weird is going on with Balthazar. When light is shone on him, I can almost see a rainbow on his black spots.

This is a comparison between the snake in the Shedding FAQ and Balthazar...


Notice the area around his head, neck. Sorry for the bad photo.

Do "normal" BPs have rainbowy black areas? I mean ALL of his black spots are like that, and he has been refusing food for the second week in a row since I got him... been two and a half weeks since the last time he's eaten. What do you guys think? Is he shedding?
