Hahah, what about a perfect 20 foot long shed from a Retic or Anaconda? I bet those go for $1000!!

hahahaha

Wow.....wonder what the person who posted that was on? Whatever it is he needs to share! Cause he gotta be HIGH or TRIPPIN to think someone would buy that!

hmmmm.... Well Ball Python complete shed for sale! It was worn by an axanthic spider so it's a hot commodity! Get it while it's still wet!

I coached peewee football for years and I would give my Dumerils boa sheds to my boys. They all loved them. I met one of the kids at a wrestling meet just a few weeks ago. He said he kept that shed for years. He finally gave it up when his mom pointed out it had almost turned to dust.

He also owns a few snakes. So don't forget the little things that can change a young person's life.

It is funny but the second to last expo I worked someone was selling sheds for 4$ and in the first hour sold out the 15 we brought with them.

go figure, if someone buys it for 20 bucks that is a a fews rats... :cool:

When I do shows for kids I always bring some and give them out....kids LOVE it!!

im going to be rich!

I've been selling shed skins for like 2 years now, lol.
A complete one that isn't torn is actually pretty rare, I bet he'll get the 20 bucks for it.

I don't sell them very often, but they do sell. Sometimes it's folks who want it for metaphysical uses, sometimes it's a science teacher who wants it as demonstration piece, etc.

on man fill one iwth expanding foam so th pattern visible and watch people freak thining it alive one i bet.
I sadlly just toss mine there about 10 or so outsaid inthe yard any givine time cause were I just dumpe the aspwen around mom's flowers( weeds) in my book.

I have been saving all of my sheds. I am planning on doing a decoupage art project with them. Maybe add the skins around photos, drawing, or paintings.

Sudden random thought... can an unbroken shed hold water?

The shed skin dries out over time, so it can't hold water, but if you got a fresh one minutes after it came off, then it probably could. Water is very heavy though, so keep that in mind.

I have a box of complete sheds from babies all the way up to 2500 gram adult females, so maybe i've got a good amount of money that i didn't even know of!

Before I was allowed to have snakes I collected sheds! Granted, they were free (local garter snakes, friend's pets, etc) but they're very good curio cabinet pieces, and for pre-college-biology-major children they're very special. One of my prize "finds" was a perfect shed from a HUGE garter snake (almost 4 1/2 feet) and I still have it curled up in a jar. Plus I have all my python's sheds now xD

I wouldnt act so shocked someone will prob buy it, o wait its CL nevermind they'll want it for free

I wish my kids would settle for a shed! My 14 yr old daughter wants a BEL, my 9 yr old son wants a PIED, and my 8 yr old daughter wants a Super Mojo cause it has purple! @ least they have good taste in snakes!!!!

I've been asked by a few people to see my snake's first shed with me, you never really know what people will pay for, haha.

To people that have snakes a shed skin is nothing special but to people that never see them they can be very interesting, especially to children. I see people that sell them at shows some times. Usually for only a buck or 2 though. I think 20bucks is super steep for a shed but I could see people paying for it. I have never sold one of mine. I have given on away to my friends kid who loved it and hung it up in his locker to brag to his friends about it. I keep a few nice sheds to display at educational shows but just toss out the rest.

Most people here think this guy is an idiot for trying to sell his shed. IF someone ends up buying it then the real idiots would be the people just tossing them in the garbage(like me:P).

My trash can in the snake room usually has half a dozen in it... I need to start saving these things! :D
