Some Brongs!

And yea, that is my video that was linked earlier. Like Matt stated, we are on the east coast (I'm from Massachusetts) so humidity is a constant battle. But When I see that one of my bloods or short-tails is out of opaque/beginning to shed, I typically soak them to make sure things go smoothly. That video was recorded in my livingroom (not where I keep my snakes/racks. And she WAS washed before being put back, making assumptions can be very misleading. The girl in that video is also bit over 4' long now and sheds regularly. And if anyone wants to talk further about it, feel free to message me.

So you help me make my point. YouTube videos are not a good educational tool. You didn't explain that the snake would be cleaned and given a fresh tub. So others like me will watch your video and see you wipe the snake off and place it in a dressed out tub. Why put it back on mulch? Unless it was going to be tossed out you just ruined it by putting a dirty snake on it.

Yea assumptions can mislead but so can pointless videos that teach nothing. The video could have been great. Take that bad situation and go through the process of cleaning the snake and disinfecting the tub. Then somebody may learn something. As you posted it the video is misleading with a poor choice for a title with no educational value.

I'm all for free information and learning from YouTube. But most the videos I have seen are really misleading, misinforming, or just plain dumb. Make a video but make it useful.

Do you always have a bad shed if you don't soak? I'm in Houston and the humidity in my home is super low compared to what some of my snakes require but I don't have to soak. Maybe you are doing extra work that is not needed. I try to leave my snakes alone during a shed and always have nice full sheds. Both my BRB and GTP shed this past week with nothing more than an occasional misting.
