The Shedding Process

[Sirensong26]

A question about shedding. Is it possible to have a snake get to a point where it trusts you during it's shed so that it can be handled while the eyecaps are blue? I don't handle Nagini during her sheds, but I know a pet store by my house has a 3 Y/O ball that they handle regularly during shed and she doesn't put up a fuss at all.

It's an individual thing. Some will be okay, some won't. My own experience is most will let you handle them, but they would rather be left alone. Of couse, if you try it and you get bit...her answer trumps mine.

Once mine get pink bellies I just leave them alone until their shed is done unless there's a compelling reason to handle them.
