Changing colors?

[J@50n]

My Common Eastern Garter is changing colors?

His top stripe has went from yellow to light brown and his stomach scales have changed from pale to a blueish... is he ok?

[J@50n]

He is also WC and being De-wormed right now...

He's going into shed mode.

Getting duller, soon you'll see his eyes turn solid blue. Then they're clear up normal, then he'll shed few days after.

Yep, he's about to shed. I notice that with Mama... Her normally cream/off white stripe turns brown.

Example. (my snakes)

Normal.


Right before shed.


Normal. (hardly)


Right before shed. Big difference.

How long with this take!!!? I'm going on a vacation in 9 days! :/

Mine, the eyes cloud about 4-5 days after their skin really dulls, and belly gets a milky color. After their eyes cloud that is another 2-3 days until they pop then about 2 days after that they shed. That is just our snakes though.

Yup, that timeline sounds about right for both mine too

[RedSidedSPR]

Ditto

There is a chance I will get to see this!!! Any tips on how I would go after getting him to shed nicely? I currently know nothing...
