My snake just did the strangest thing! I noticed he was about to shed so I watched and he did so as normal and it only took 10 minutes or so in total. Once he was done though, he went back inside the old skin! I was really worried because i though he would get stuck if he kept going into the narrow tail of the shed so I cut it to let him out. Anyone else ever seen their snake do that???






The last picture is hard to make out but it's his head back inside the old skin!

I thought it was pretty bizarre but obviously not unheard of. Thanks for the comments!

I guess it's the same as turning your underwear inside out when it gets too dirty :P

New one on me for sure.
