    Exclamation Changing colors?

    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?

    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.

    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.
