OMG that was brilliant, just seen Donny shed and it was a good shed in one go - even with me and the missus gawping and squealing at him.

I tell you what, I take my hat off to snakes, it's bloody hard work to get started - imaging taking off all your clothes with out using your arms!!! - but once going it came off with ease..........well done I say

to be honest I knew he was close as he started pushing against anything he could and 'yawning' (best way to describe it) when we handled him, so put him back in his rub.

He continued pushing his head against the side of the rub and yep I saw the whole thing.....amazing as they kind-of walk their body out - you can see the muscle/ribs move rhythmically as he moved out of the skin.

Came off in one go - this is his 3rd shed with us and all been 1 pieces, feel really lucky to have seen it.

Am I the only one who's now considering trying to take off their clothes without using arms, just to see how hard that is? xD

Monster was nice enough to shed one day during a handling session... It's the only 100% good shed of him I have...

Admittedly I was sorta expecting it, I log blue/shed and he was in the butter zone!

What are your plans for the skin? I have Monster's laid out along my monitors on my desk.

Did you get to see it all the way through?

I had my corn for nearly 11 years and never got to see her start her shed. I saw her shedding many times but always managed to miss the very start

Glad you got to see it. Shedding and feeding are two of the highlights of snake keeping

Wow lucky you!!! Im still waiting

Ooooh, I'm so jealous haha. You're very lucky. I'm still trying to catch one of my guys in the act but they seem to be shy. The only time I saw part of a shed is Apollo's first shed with me and that was because I had to help him get it started.
