Is Edgar shedding?

I've had Edgar for a couple weeks now, and yesterday he became a bit sluggish, although he ate both pinkie mice right up. Just wondering if he may act like this when getting ready for a shed.

Mine tend to hide away a little bit more when they're in shed... but like cornlover221 already said, the best way to tell is when you see their colors dull out and their eyes turn blue. then you know it's only a matter of days until you've got a fresh, new snake!

I think the best way to look for a snake in shed is to look at the belly. You will notice a hint of blue, hence why the call it "In Blue".

Some snakes will still readily accept food during shed too.
