    First BP shed in my care! YAY! :D
    Hey guys, my Ball Python Kundalini has completed his shed yesterday! And it was all in one piece too! Does that mean that my husbandry is OK?
    I'm so happy, no retained eye caps or anything like that.
    I have few pics of his first shed in my care (unfortunately I ripped it a bit when trying to get it out of his hide):

    Thank you for taking your time to look at my pics!
    Comments are appreciated as always!

    A one piece shed is usually a pretty good indicator of good husbandry. So good job, keep it up.

    their new skin is always so stunning after a shed.did you catch him sloughing it off? it reminds me of a purring cat rubbing on the walls of the house and everybodies legs.

    its funny when you first catch them.i never seen it happen before hand.i caught my baby bp doing it one night i thought she was having a seizure or something then i noticed a tube of skin slowly coming off.its amazing.next time you see them blue eyes or pink belly pay close attention to those sounds coming from your bps enclosure you might catch him and he might leave you a lil surprise in the skin or around it, a nice lil old stinky doodie.:D

    my bps first shed being home came off in three pieces.the head,neck to mid body,mid body to tail.
    the shedding from the head looks like a mask.super kewl
