Hi folks i need your advice.......

I bought a grown on male Carolina corn about 3 weeks ago he is 7 months old and called kirk after captain kirk from star trek, sad i know but i love star trek and my snake!! everything was going great untill today!! i have fed him once a week on fuzzies/fluffs (next mouse after pinkies) but i think hes ready for crawlers (level 3 mouse)

Hes my first snake and i love the bright orange base with red saddles and black outlines and thats how i know somthings wrong today when i got home from work i went into my bed room and had a look into his viv and he didnt look right, he was dull, all the colours were faded and even the black squares on his belly were grey and faded and his eyes are like an eletric/metal blue.......... is he shedding or is it somthing worse??

Thanks in advance for any advice

Hello Tom it defo sounds like he's shedding, His eyes will go back normal in a few days and a few days after that he will shed his skin and look better than ever.

its like, its like Spanish for like a fighting chicken ...
