I grabbed my phone during one of my snake's recent sheds. It happens so quick, so I thought I'd post for people who have not witnessed it yet.

Amazing motion that travels down the snake, all the way round.

Wow what a great motion, need some music and would be tops, didnt realise that the shed experience was so quick, somehow imagined it to take ages and keep the snake up all night how wrong was I dohh good job though in catching it on camera

LynneM I love the the colour of your corn. Video of snake shedding was amazing to watch. Not got my corn yet but am almost there.


Dakota ~ Bloodred Corn ~ Amber & Chloe ~ Cats
Mind is changing on snakes I want now lol so am researching these to find out what would be best - Milk Snakes and Dwarf Boa possibly - Crawl Cay, Sonoran, Tarahumara or Vera Cruz and poss a Hoggie, African House and Rat snake. Also Trinket Snakes.
