MD colour

[DThatch]

Hey guys, I just picked up a 5 month old Murray Darling the other day, and noticed he has a slight greyish tinge to his colouration further down his body towards his tail. Normally i'd assume he might be shedding soon but he hasnt been in his water and his eyes are normal. Is there something i should be worried about or is this fine? This is my first snake so im a bit of an over-protective parent i guess. Still, any advice is appreciated. Cheers.

Also just letting you know i have to go out for a little bit tonight so i wont be able to reply untill later on, maybe 8:30-9ish. Im also having trouble keeping his cool end below 26 degrees if its relevant? But his warm end sits at around 28-32 degrees.

we need a pic to see if the colour is normal or not, mds' colours are usually white, black, grey and brownish red so your one sounded normal. about the hotspot, how big is the enclosure ? as long as it can move away and cool down when he wants to then it's alright.

I cant really take a picture right now because hes in his hide and im trying to leave him alone for a while untill he settles in :/ the enclosure is about 900Lx400Wx600H.
