No kidding! I hear you on that note. I was told to expect Phyllis to be around 7-8’. She’s between 9-10’ for sure, though when she’s coiled in her hide it’s hard to believe she’s that long. Just grateful that she’s got a nice temperament https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0772c8e4b0.jpgcoiled in the 24”x30” space above the RHP on her cage while out cruising

Phyllis’s most recent shed was the closest to a full shed I’ve gotten in a while. 3 pieces and I had to unroll about 75% of it hah. Up until she broke the 7-8’ mark I would get solid one piece sheds from her almost every timehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c517f06253.jpg

Lol I pieced it together so it looks like a full shed to try and get a measurement. About 11’ of shed [emoji15]... super dwarf they said... won’t get that big they said... they are a handful for sure but so different from any other snakes I’ve worked with

That's what worries me about Jay when he says things like yes the mother was two hundred pounds and it hatched out bigger than a subadult ball python but if you feed it once a month it will stay small forever , she is beautiful thank you for sharing her with us😊

For the most part, yes. Same as my big boas. Problem is it usually gets rolled up like a wet sock and if its at night and you dont find it until morning, it is usually dried out and trying to unroll it just isnt going to happen.

The only snakes that shed in one long shed is usually Luna the dumerils and Pat the GTP.

And i think i figured out why Caesar is so mellow, he is definitely going into shed. He is all cranky. He came out to say hi to me but when i reached in to pet him, he pulled back and curled up inside the hide lol. Him and Rosey get so cranky when in shed. You can see how pink his face is and how his body is more orange/red than the normal bright yellow.

Usually takes him about 2 weeks to shed. And when he sheds, he is going to need more than a scooby snack. It will be about 3 weeks with no food. He is going to be angry and hungry lol. I'll have to try the tongs on a nice XXL guinea pig for him. Or maybe a rabbit. The owner of the reptile shop by me said she finally found another local rabbit breeder so she should have smaller in stock more often so maybe we'll see how Caesar likes a rabbit.
