So my little snow shed last night, was a little worried because there wasn't a head on the skin...just went up to check she's alright and have found another completely intact skin up in her tree!? Is this normal?

It's definitely 110% 2 sheds. The first one is a little screwed up because it was in her water. She has eaten today and seems fine but will keep an eye on her and hope she just retained one :)

I would say one shed two parts I have had this a couple of times it must be the way they pull it about when shedding.

I've only had her a week and it was definitely new there this morning and the other came off last night. Hopefully it's b and she'll be fine and shed normally from now on

Yeah they both are apart from the head on the first one
