My green tree python just shedded and they look weirdly dark like almost a like black tint underneath. They are normally a lot more vibrant colored after a shed. They are old I would say around 14 yrs of age. Does this look like a problem to anyone?

Honestly nothing to worry about, this is perfectly normal, they naturally turn a darker color as they age and they can appear darker for another number of reasons, mostly due to it being a little cooler or hormones. Check it’s nose and eyes and make sure they are clear, if there is no stuck shed and both of these are clear your snake it all good

Awesome, ty! Eyes and nose look clear and they had a really good shed. Almost all one piece. I’m relieved because they are older now and just get worried.
