I don't know if it shrinks but if it does it wouldn't make any difference when comparing the two sheds as the both would have shrunk. I have heard that the shed stretches a bit as the snake wriggles out.

He was three and a half feet before he shed. The old skin shouldn't be too dried out as they are stored in a sealed box. His previous owner said that he looked like a worm when she got him at 6 weeks old....lol. Does anyone know at what age a corn is considered fully grown?

It is nice to have the sheds. Amy's previous owner kept all the shed and when she gave him to me she asked a couple of times if I wanted the old sheds and I said no. luckily she didn't bin them so when I changed my mind she brought the straight round. Its nice to see the changes. I am planning on using a photo album to make a scrap book for them.

Mine are in individual plasic bags atm the bags are all in a tub. I am going to get one of those self adhesive photo albums, that way I should be able to take the sheds out if I need too.
