Well when i went to take my BP out last night I found a perfect shed under his hide along with a nice wet poo right next to it. Thank god no poo on his shed because its so cool looking. Came off all in one piece, can see his mouth, eye holes, and design in it. I measured it to be about 18 inches. I was very proud to see that my work seems to be paying off. And ya im definately keeping his shed skin and maybe hang it up on my wall... ITS TOO COOL
