Very Bizaare, about two months ago Sarge had his first shed since ive had him, he was three days out of the pet shop and it was just awful, i mean he went all wrinkly etc, had to give him a warm bath in the sink to sort him out but eventually managed to get all of his old skin off.

After not being interested in food for two weeks I started to worry.

A week ago i noticed Sarge had retreated into his water hide and had been there all day, worried that he may be trying to drown lice, or worse that he'd drowned himself (id never seen him go in there before) I lifted the lid to find a pair of blue eyes looking at me.

So I left him to it, 4 days he spent in the water hide, kept checking up every so often to make sure he was doing okay. Today he appeared from his hide and shed all in 1 go, and man my eyes must be playing tricks on me because he seems to have grown! In addition he had the worlds most enormous snake poop which was great to clean up lol, and now hes just eaten.

So the way I figure it, I must be getting good at this looking after my snake business eh? - i figured id fish for some praise off you fine people before i head down to the reptile shop and start giving them my two-cents about their reptile housing practises (which incidently are shocking).
