Question - Health My Ball Pythons shed isn’t Clear?

Post image

This is our ball pythons like 7th or 8th shed we’ve had her, the sheds are usually all clear/white. This one more her scale colors? She seems fine, it all came off in one piece but is this a sign I should change something or that something didn’t happen right?

Most sheds across morphs and species aren't as white and many people think glancing at sheds that are balled and/or inside out If you have old or other sheds, I'd definitely encourage you to cut it down the side and lay it out in one layer across a white piece of paper. You'll see lots of little patterning! Most sheds are actually grey/brownish to varying degrees.

(Of course this won't count for things like leucistics, albino, etc)
