    Wow.

    no not world of warcraft, but my normal bp monty was in shed a few days ago, and when i checked on him yesterday, he looked really bright, his eyes were bright, he was flicking his tongue like crazy, and when i touched him he felt silky smooth, i didnt see any shed, so does anyone know whats up? no im just kidding, i found his shed a big full shed all by his self, no soaking, it was under his hide, im curious as to how he did this, i never saw him push against the tank, i know they try during the night, but his hides are plastic bowls, barely enough room for him/her to fit in, which is good for security, i was astonished by this, really more of a mindfart , but i was really proud of him, anyone sorry for the senseless post

    I know most of mine do circles inside their hides, regardless if they fit or not, to remove their shed. Congrats on the successful shed

    I didn't see Lily shed either. She cleared up, ate a mouse, pooped, and hid in her hide for two days. When I lifted up her hide, she was sitting on top of her shed skin. It's normal for snakes to look like they've shed and then actually shed a day or two later.

    From the site rules & TOS
    2. Family-friendly forum content. This includes ALL submitted content, whether text, images, or links to other sites. We have members and visitors of all ages and want to keep it that way. DO NOT TRIP THE AUTO CENSOR. Unless an exception is explicitly noted, if a "bleeped out" word is obvious in its content, it will be treated the same as if it had been spelled out. We will not allow cursing in any disguised form. If you are unsure as to whether something qualifies as "family-friendly" or wish to report a potential problem, please send a private message to any staff member and we will respond as quickly as we can.

    I'm sure people who have typed them out and "blocked" them themselves got infractions as well...myself included! Just be more careful

    Good to hear!

    I don't use hides at all for any of my snakes. I use contractors paper and smooth ceramic bowls. Never have a problem shed. As long as your humidity is proper the snake will shed correctly. I do put the waterbowls on top of the heat tape when they are shedding which boosts me from the normal 60% humidity to 70% or so.

    Regards,

    B
