My brothers creamsickle looked like she was about to shed to I gave her a quick bath (in which she took a huge poo, as expected) and then stuck her back in the viv.

A few hours later I took her out and had her on my lap and she started digging her head against me leg. Then she did a huge yawn so I guessed she was trying to loosen the skin around her lips (do snakes have lips?).

I then put my hand down so she could dig between my leg and my palm, which she did straight away and to my surprise, she broke free of her skin round her face and started shedding right there on my lap!!

I then stuck her straight back in the viv to let her finish in her own time.

Was such an amazing experience, and has made me want a snake even more.

I have my viv, just no snakey yet. Bring on June's paycheck!!!
The more I'm looking after my brother two, the more I'm getting hooked.

Anyway, just thought I would share.
How many of you have had similar experiences?
