I've just this minute come into the lounge to find Ofelia in the process of shedding!  
Thats her second shed with me now,and I've missed the signs each time! I even fed her last night oblivious to the fact,it didn't stop her from her usual strike and constrict either.
She's a crafty girl. |

I honestly don't think I'll spot it. I just can't seem to see the signs with her!  |

| It is usually just down to pure luck and perseverance after the clear following the blue stage. I've caught plenty sheds mid flow but only one from the start ... and my mate came chapping just as I was setting up the camera. Next time!! |

| I missed Voldemort's second shed last night too! I didn't expect it to happen so quickly, he was blue on Saturday and only clear on Monday...maybe next time I'll be lucky. |

| I'm sure you're right! Last time he started rubbing his face on my daughter's trouser pocket, she put him in the viv, called me up to see as she thought he was shedding and it was all over by the time I climbed the stairs! |

Mort, you should see the body colours dull down and the eyes take on a definite cloudy blue. After a short period the eyes will go clear and the skin may brighten up a little. Approximately 7 days later the shedding will take place. This can vary up to 10 days and you will have a nice, bright snakey.
I posted these before and after pics of Woody. He did this one in record time and totally fooled me.
Have a look and see what to look out for.

| You can't tell with some snakes, their normal colouration masks the signs. My Boa doesn't look any different other than going wrinkly around her neck she changes colour a hundred times a day anyway so its impossible to notice. I'm sure with 11 snakes Mort will know what the signs of a shed are, is it still 11 or have you got more this week |

| You still haven't got a python or a Boa on your list yet, you can't be done until you've got the whole set. |

Believe me,I like both. I have to think of holidays though and my family/friends being happy looking after what I have.
