A lot happens in 2 years of a snake's life- & he's real handsome too.

Re: The last python is in captivity, the forum is at peace... Zebes update thread
The first few years is the most fun for me seeing a snake grow up into an adult from tiny to a "real" snake. I enjoy the adults too obviously but the fast growth phase is so satisfying. He's looking good!

Very handsome snek! But to be fair, complaining about your snake's shed being a mess...hey, how well could we undress without using hands or feet, & just by sliding against things.

My colubrids consistently give immaculate one piece sheds though. Maybe it's just his bulkiness and his tendency to fully shed out within a hide instead of splaying it throughout the enclosure (so it gets "run over" repeatedly as he gets it all off).

It's due to many things. Some snakes have thicker shed skins than others do- & like you said, their techniques vary, as does their body weight & flexibility. There's nothing "wrong" with a shed that tears on abrasive things either, & many of them do that. It's partly luck to get intact sheds.

The fish view him as an oversized worm and try to peck at him through the glass, so the feeling is mutual.
