Don't know if you guys already does this... but here it comes.
After Aia or Vitus has shed I take the sheddings and laminate them with a note telling when they shed and etc.
Really enjoy the way of following them, cause when laminated they stay "safe" and doesn't spoil. And amazing to the the changes from shed to shed.
This is Aia's last three sheddings:
First: 15.08.2010
Second: 13.09.2010
Third: 14.10.2010
From the first to the last shed (two months) she has gained 8g and almost 10 cm

what a cool way of doing this, plus it doesnt take up much room either you can just file them away,
my son took his snakes shed skin to school the other day then my 5 year old daughter decided to show her friends mum, all she said was lok a snakes skin and the women screamed!
it was quite funny i must admit! |

| They look really good and it's a great idea - we have all of James' sheds drifting about on top of his viv, that is a much better way of doing it! |

Yeah it's really cool.
Forgot to say that you can see the shed from both sides, and that you can actually feel the structure on the laminate :D
It's much easier to se all the details too. |
