I can do it to an extent, but it's tricky, and the shed is never fully intact to begin with (the head in particular is always broken or otherwise indistinguishable). Not to mention it's a 50/50 if a shed is even salvageable at all as he tends to have a, shall we say, "blowout" right after a shed and it can sometimes soil the shed. Ah well, maybe Hocotate will be more forgiving. :snake:

Well yeah, you don't want to be saving brown sheds...but it's awfully "tidy" when they leave it in the shed. Someday, when you least expect it, you'll get an intact shed. ;) And I didn't say they're "easy" to un-roll...but I've been pretty motivated, like when the BCI I had got to be 7.5' long & her sheds were over 8' long! :O And she was a "roller" too, lol. It was worth the effort, that shed was HUGE.

You just have a smart snake- don't take it personal. ;)
It was a joke, I know why he does it. ;) I just think it's funny the extreme lengths he in particular will go, while my corn ate right in front of me without a care in the world for his very first meal with me. :rofl:
