    Came home from work just in time...

    I came home from working a 13 hour day and checked on my boy, Tyson, who was in shed. He looked a bit wrinkly, so on my way to the shower I told my girlfriend he would probably shed over night. Well, I peeked in after my shower and was just in time to watch him shed. I've been lucky enough to see my snakes actually shed a handful of times and it never gets old. In my opinion, it's one of mother nature's greatest accomplishments.
    Who else has been lucky enough to see their snake(s) crawl out of their skin?

    I've seen it twice. The first time I heard a strange noise, the second time I happened upon it. Just this morning I missed my carpet shedding by just minutes.

    Pretty sweet. I've never caught any of mine. I've missed it by 15 minutes or so though...
