    Re: Shedding Question.

    ditto to reptile king. Don't worry....mine takes up to 11 days after she went blue to actually shed. I check her everyday to see if it has happened and then once it has I stretch it out and check it to make sure it all came off.

    Re: Shedding Question.

    Could you perhaps take a picture? If you already see the skin flaking off then your snake is probably having a bad shed. If the humidity is right, the actual act of shedding should be rather fast, they just roll it off like a sock, all in one piece.

    OMG, OMG, this is something that I find so amusing about shedding. They don't roll it off like a sock. They roll it off like it's a condom.

    Okay there, I said it, I'll go hide now.
