Shedding??

After he sheds, is it ok for my son to take the skin to school? He wants to take it for his show and tell day. I know he doesn't have any mites, so is the old skin ok to take? (Provided the kids don't tear it to shreds)

Of course, but sometimes they defecate in the shed skin. I would disinfect it with nolvasan or bleach.

Not right away. You have to let it dry out first.
Cut it down the centre of the belly scales and leave it out flat for a week or two.
