I have kept all sids sheds while she has been with me. Her last one was on Christmas Day, so that was anice present to wake up to. It's been one of the longest times between sheds and also the longest time to actually shed (a little over 3 weeks).

The broken ones get binned once the usual checks for eye caps, tail tip, etc have been done but if they are intact they get unrolled, dried and taken to school by the kids. |

I kept Tartans last shed with me, and it's perfect. Eye caps, nostrils, the works! |

Fantastic news about Ossie and so glad you saw some of it...it is such an amazing process isnt it!!
Seem to remember a certain forum member who had a family member who was scared of snakes....this forum member tried to paint a full shed snake colours...planning on planting it in family members bed!! Unfortunately it stuck to cardboard he had painted it to so never managed to pull his prank!!

Ossie had his first shed with us tonight, we didn't see the start but saw it from about half way dow, it was brilliant, it come off all in one piece, eyes and tail intact, he's like a different snake now, roaming around his viv, playing hide and seek over his log. He miht eat now, it'd been nearly 2 weeks now bless him, litle bugger must be starving.  |

Ive also decided to measure her (when she stays still long enough)and then put them in an envelope at the back- so I can "see" her growing on paper :)
As well as putting her weigh-ins, pics and anything else I can stuff in there :)
Basically "The Chronicles of Slinky" :)

Well if they come flatpacked, you assemble them onto a concrete base, trying to follow the instructions in every language BUT english and try make use of the sweedish measurements.

As this is his first shed with me do you guys have any advice to make it easier on him apart from keeping his tank moist??
Just move water bowl nearer to warm side, which very slightly increases humidity. You wont know until this shed what sort of shedder he may be and whether he may need more help next time.
When he does shed make sure you check the shed for the eyecaps and tail tip, to make sure they have come off clean.
Hope you get to see it...amazing experience. But if you dont you have years ahead of you to watch him!
