This is called shedding. It is when the outermost layer of the snake's skin sheds, keeping the new skin intact. This happens because it means the snake is growing and getting bigger. A snakes skin does not grown along with him like our skin does, therefore they shed.

What animals change color to match surroundings?

Chameleons don't change color to match their environment. Rather, they change color as a response to mood, temperature, health, communication, and light. As the seasons change, the Arctic fox changes the color of its coat. In the spring and summer, it has a dark coat to match the brown dirt in its environment. In fall and winter, it turns white to match the surrounding snow. Cuttlefish have the ability to change color too. It can generate a wide range of colors and interesting patterns. By perceiving the color of a backdrop and constricting the right combination of its chromatophores, the cuttlefish can blend in with all sorts of surroundings.
