Yes. That means he is getting ready to shed. You don't have to do anything. Just let him shed all of his skin on his own. If he sheds and doesn't shed some skin, or is having trouble shedding then you can buy shedding spray from your pet store that sells reptile products. This loosens their skin for them and lifts it up. Or you can even try soaking him in warm water, wich is good to do anyways. It helps them to shed and its good for their skin.

A gray/cloudy eye means your snake is getting ready to shed. As long as your snake's enclosure has correct humidity there shouldn't be a problem with shedding.

When he is shedding, leave him alone. Usually, as long as your conditions are right, you don't have to assist with shedding. But sometimes shed gets stuck or his eye cap (scale that is shed over the eye) is retained, usually when the humidity is too low. Don't just yank it off. You can try soaking your snake in warm water if any shed is left.
