As I may have mentioned earlier, Pelota was in shed for the second time in my care. As usual, it took exactly a week for her to shed. Last friday at 8pm I discovered she had blue eyes. I then kept the humidity up to 75-80% from then on, and tonight, right on schedule at 8pm, she shed. The cool thing about it is I got to see her shed. By some big coincidence, I had a friend over and he wanted me to go get a cd. We were debating who should go up there to get it, but then I thought "bah, he won't know where it is". So I went upstairs to grab the cd. Then on my way out, I thought I better check on Pelota's temps and such. I checked her warm hide she's always in, and it was empty. I'm thinking "strange...where's lazybones?" so I was frantically looking around the cage for her, when I finally seen some movement. Curled up in a pretzel shape, next to her water bowl, was Pelota, shedding. Only my second shed with her, and I got to watch her shed her first perfect one piece shed for me. I called my friend up, who's not much on snakes, and he watched it with me. After witnessing such a seemingly rare occurance, even his interest was peaked. After the shed, I unrolled it and checked to see everything came off fine. It did, except for the tip of the tail, which never seems to work itself off. So with a quick dip in some water, it came off like nothing. So as I was fiddling with the shed, all happy, my friend asked to hold Pelota. He got to bond with her for a few minutes as I started thawing a mouse for her, since it was feeding night(perfect timing with that shed, lol). I came up to my room with the thawed mouse 10 minutes later, and my friend was laying on the bed with Pelota crawling around on him. I think they're in love.
So anyway, he then got to watch as I fed Pelota. He was all excited over how fast she strikes and coils that sucker up. Then we watched her swallow, yawn a few times, and then I placed her back in her cage, where she retired for the night in her warm hide.

So, all in all, I got to witness my snake shed, I got a nice 1 piece shed, and I seemed to have peaked my friends interest in snakes. Yay!

Oh, and I know what all the excitement is about one piece sheds now. It's good to know your husbandry is all good. 8)
