This is the little guy I posted about who was not eating. Once again, he (she?) is not eating but this time it's only because he's getting ready to shed. About 5 days ago it started to get a little darker and the back almost turned brown. I got a little worried because the snake species I've dealt with tend to just turn opaque or gray when they are about to shed so I wasn't sure if it was getting sick or not. The eyes began to fog over a day or so ago confirming that it's just shedding and nothing is wrong and now you can a see a small piece on the back beginning to flake off. I can't wait for it to shed, I hope it comes out nice
