My baby Zeus may be going into a shed (it's about time) but I'm not a 100% sure. He is getting a little blue to me, but it's hard for me to tell because I'm either a turd or because of the way the light hits him. Sometimes I think it's a shed sign for sure, but then I look from a different angle and I'm not so sure anymore
I've only gone through one shed, and that was with my Milksnake. I knew for sure with her because the black markings on her belly got lighter and milky looking.

I'm probably worried for nothing... (as always when it comes to my pets) but I want to be sure :)

Well now that I'm looking at the pictures, I think it's definitely shed time... facepalm

Look at his belly. If it has a pink tone, he's headed into shed.

No worries. With some animals, it can be hard to tell. You'll get better at it as you gain keeping Brazilian experience anyway.
