I am just being paranoid lol. My corn snake acts normal and eats his food instantly when I give it to him. But I am just wondering his head is darker and not same color as rest of his body is this normal or is there something wrong.

Probably just going into shed. My buf girl's head turns almost greenish a few days before she goes blue. She's in shed right now, if I remember I'll get a photo on the morning.

Well, it's not as pronounced now, but in certain lighting you can still see her head is a bit darkened.

Could also be just the color of its head. I have a bloodred and his head is gray. I thought it would fill in as he got older, but at four years old now, he's still got the gray head. This is an older pic, he looks the same though:

Yeah, he's about to shed. You can tell by the eyes.

Yes, your snake's eyes are cloudy in that last picture. He'll be shedding soon.

I concur he is going into shed. You can tell because his colors look darker and his eyes are starting to cloud over. Where they are black in the earlier picture, they now look almost blue.
