Just thought I'd put this on here me being a snake nerd.

I was having a good look through both Colins and Xenas records yesterday (yes I have no life) and I dont know bout the rest of you but when they shed I make a note of how long its been since the last shed the skins length and how many meals they have had in between.

I noticed that there is no corelation between the time and meals that is to say even if they have had more meals it doesnt make them shed more often. They both seem to be on a time clock both shedding almost bang on every six weeks regardless.

There was one time when Colin came out of his fast he had a couple of meals and went into shed three weeks early and his skin was exactly the same length as the one before (it was in fact an inch shorter but i dont think they shrink it must have been an error on my part) but apart from that the records read like clockwork. The two of them are so accurate I can virtually predict when they are going to go pale lol.

As if to confirm it I got him out today and he has gone pale which to my reconning will be exactly six weeks by the time he sheds.

Weird aint it.

I've noticed it to some extent with mine. Candy tends to shed around every 4-5 weeks and Casper and Reggie every 5-6.

[Hijack] Hannah, how is little aura coming on? [/hijack]
