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?

Re: Changing colors?
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.

Re: Changing colors?
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.
