Hey just got a question....my lil Stimson a few months old...it looks like a few of his scales underneath him are looking loose....does this mean he's gunna shed soon?....he's my 1st snake so I'm still learning
 
Hi :)

If he is going into a shed his skin will become very dual and his eyes will do a bluey/milky colour then back to normal for a few days then he should shed :)
and don't forget to post pics for peoples :)
 
A snake that is coming up to shed will be a lot darker and duller than usual. You may notice that their skin appears to be loose when they're coming up to the actual shed.

For example I added some old pics of my coastal. In the first photo he is very dull, dark and appears to have loose skin. The second photo is just days later, when he completed his shed.

I had my first tag from my little woma this morning - went to change his water and must have startled him from his sleep. Doesn't hurt and my friends at uni couldn't understand why I was so excited about it :lol:
