Very cool... I eventually want something non-BP, and have always loved the brighter colored snakes like milksnake, kingsnake, etc. Maybe a Honduran will be my next addition? :)

If this happens, it's really tempting to help them out, which is fine if you want to, but it's a neater feeling to let them do all the work using your hands as a rubbing stone/pulling branch.

And the post-shed evacuation? Hopefully that doesn't go in your hand as well...:weirdface

several times , i also got an old rat snake that so old she needs help to get started when she sheds any more. plus she not very active will just lay wrapped on my wrist,(compared to the fact she never sat still in the past.

I've assisted in sheds and I've seen my snakes shed. I think it's really cool to watch, especially their belly movements trying to slither out of the skin.

Yes. a couple times.
Corn snakes, Boas.

Yes I've caught a few of my snakes shedding. It's neat watching. I had one (my corn) start his shed in my hand. Very neat to have that happen.

LOL, this thread is over a year old!!!

i assisted with a shed ONCE, and i got most of it off, but couldnt get the eye caps off...

switched to tubs, and now i always find the shed rolled up in 1 piece in a corner somewhere.... covered in fecal matter -_-;...

I've witness 2 so far, the last one from my 5month old BP, I have a 20 minute video of it, but it's kinda dark and the sound is not very apealing... The video is too long for youtube.

Maybe I could edit the sound off, but Im not sure with what... never tried video stuff before. and I would still have the problem of where to upload it. Any sugestions??

Thanx!

Yup I've walked in on a shedding many times in my years of keeping various reptiles, though snakes are always the best to watch :D
