Hey guys just thought that I would enquire about the different ways in which you file / keep (if you do) your snakes skins. Striker has shed 4 times with us now and we wanted a good way to keep them together and to minimise damage to them. Your ideas and ways of doing this would be much appreciated ta  |

I think I've got some that have fallen down the back of the viv stack.
I also found some behind the telly, including one from the royal, which shows how long ago it was I cleaned behind the telly.
Aside from that, I've only kept some of the exceptional sheds which I give to kids from the local infant school every so often, they love it. |

Do they not go off after a certain amount of time, being organic and all? Just curious, as I've never kept one for long enough to find out.
I tend to keep my snakes' most recent sheds until they produce another one, then compare them in size, then throw the old one away. My corn is an amel, so her shed skins are quite boring anyway! |
