ok since you are neither mod, admin, or even veteran i will tell you to drop this "tude". My husbandry may have been what caused this but, as he is my brothers snake all i did was check in on him from time to time. Now i have moved him to my room and am keeping an eye on him and my husbandry has improved so i suggest that you take a few steps back and review the question i asked; "how long should it take for it to grow back or scar over?" I got my answer which was, "any where from two sheds to a year "and that was all i needed thank you very muchon another note his shed came off in two pieces without retained eyecaps. so i will try to get pics sometime today. with the newbies permission of course.
