Re: Corn Snake Advice?

Hey I was wondering if his scales being super pale meant he was going to be shedding soon? His eyes arent blue but I noticed his scales arent as bright as they usually look.

I should say that I do know what blue phase is I've just never seen it on a bright orange snake so I wanted to be sure

Yep, sounds like going into shed. The change in scale colour tends to be pretty obvious on orange snakes. The skin starts to look pale at least a few days before the eyes go cloudy, so it'll be a while yet before he sheds.
