    How Do I Keep It Moist?
    Yes! So My Very First Snake Cleo Finally Shedded Her First Shed If U Want To Put It Like That, Personally It Looks Like A Giant Well You Know... :P But My Question Is, How Do I Keep It From Drying And Breaking, I Really Am Fasitenated By It And I Wat To Try To Keep All Of Her Sheddings And She How Much She Grows, So How Do I Keep It Like The Way It Is ?

    Make sure that it dries out as much as possible, then carefully fold or roll it up and place it into a tightly sealed zip-lock bag.

    The shed will dry out and become brittle in about a week, there is no way to stop this... but there are ways to preserve sheds...

    The method I stated above will keep them intact but you must be careful with them...

    There is also this option, though I do not know how the logistics work out seeing that you are in Canada

    Check out all the cool stuff they can do with the sheds... I can't wait to get an iPhone case made from my Dumeril's Boa's shed (once she is big enough)


    The sheds will add up fast, I have an entire box full of them already lol

    I just saw the webpage, and they say that they aren't taking international orders... if you know somebody in the states, you might be able to work something out though...

    Hmmm I keep a lot of my snake's sheds and they never dry out so much that they break apart. They stay pretty bendable and sturdy.

    x2 that was my guess? Missed what he was getting at otherwise lol...?

    The shed shouldnt dry out so much that it crumbles. You dont really wanna keep it moist bc itll grow bacteria or mold.
