WOW! Those are awesome shed pictures. And what a beautiful snake! Thanks for sharing!

Holy cow! That is AWESOME, dude! What a great little documentary on the shedding process! Stunning pictures, man...I really mean it!

And, I must say, Samson looks quite handsome in his new duds! :mrgreen:

That's a great series of pics! I'd like to see this one made sticky.

Edit: Good idea, Marla. Done.
Randy

Edit: Thanks, Randy. This will be a good one to point people to.
Marla

that is cool. he is such a handsome feller!!

That is really cool to see it done that way. Those are some awesome pics. Great job on capturing that!! They are so beautiful after a good shed.

VERY cool! Fantastic pics! :D

INCREDIBLE pics!!! Thanks Bigs!!!

Thanks guys, i thought it would be cool to see it on film!!

That is awesome; I have never seen my snakes shed, although I walked in on one as he was finishing. Sweet pics!

Nice pics...my b.p. never sheds in one piece...

Snakemann, you've come to the right place if you want folks to help you fix that. :)

Awesome display of proper humidity control! Hats off to your husbandry skills 8)
Great pics of the shed process and Samson looks great on blue.

Awesome pics. Mine always sheds in one piece, but leaves a small chunk on the tail... is this normal?

snakeman, i had the same problem.... im guessing you hear almost a crackling sound?....BECARFUL, becuase if that happends you may notice that scales may come off with the skin, and then hes left with a scar, fortunaly the scar does heal. The easiest way to fix this is when you notice that hes about to shed take a spray bottle, spray him and the substrate, this should increase the humidity and he will slipt rite out of his skin, ( appx 20 mins )

hope that helps

Very Nice Set Of Pics! What is your humidity set to for the shed?

the humidity stays around 68% to 72% rh. with a tropicaire humidifier.

wow how big is your BP? I love to watch them shed! p.s. I use the same kinda of carpet as you, for my snakes substrate!

awsome looks on your bp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice looking snake and good shed where did you get your tropicaire humidifier and how much did it cost thanks for help
