    because it has dried up, like taking a chunk of your shin of, all soft and flexible, when the moisture evaporates it will shrivle up. you could if you wanted to keep it flat is place it in a zip loc bag and place it in between a book, i still have my first bp's shed 5+ years later and still looks good.

    It's hard to slip that old skin off, what with no hand and all. It's just like women taking off stockings. They usually end up rolled and twisted up. The important thing is that all the shed is off.

    If it makes you feel any better, I'm still a bit woozy from being at the dentist! I can only hope I'm making as much sense as I usually do.

    Re: new snake owner

    to bp.net! The main thing is that the shed comes off in one piece. Sounds like they explained the rest well...when they weren't confused lol.
