Do you keep your snake sheds?

Time for another poll, I love making these as it is fun and I like to see all the different results of what everyone does. This one is about whether or not you keep your snake sheds.

I only have a few sheds, one from when Crowley was a baby, 1 from when he was half grown and 1 from his full grown size. I will only keep more if they are near perfect.

Nope..

I've probably got around 20 or so. Every time one sheds I just hang it up on an old compound bow hanging on the wall. I think I only do it because it annoys my wife hahaha.

Sometimes. Occasionally I’ll take a shed periodically to get a rough idea of growth. It’s kinda cool to see a tiny and a giant shed from the same animal.

I have a few good ones, especially off of the bigger snakes. One off of my larger boas is a decoration in my office cube; it is longer than my coworkers are tall, because sheds stretch.

They are all convinced that I am nuts.

When the JCP gives me a clean shed, we hang it on the wall. I call it Snake Tinsel :D

I did at the start but then meh.

I keep the first good shed from a new animal but not much else. However, I did see a picture of sheds used for a small Xmas tree’s garland that has inspired me to keep some for holiday decorating purposes

I keep my corn snake's - occasionally people ask me for snake shed, horse hair, horse shoes, etc. for craft projects or their altars, so I have a habit of holding onto everything I can from my animals just in case someone needs it someday. But the BP always poops in hers so those get thrown out.

My BP has only had 3 sheds with me so far, so I've kept all of them. They're all nice, full-piece ones which makes them a good record of my BP's growth. I noticed that my BP's younger skins are noticeably finer and softer than the older ones. Not sure if I will continue to keep them through his lifetime since that would be A LOT of sheds. Maybe just when he's still growing fast.

My entire family thinks it's creepy to keep the dead skin though LOL.
