After I'd put my corn back after handling him, i came back in about 2 minutes and he was half way through his shed he hadn't been in blue or had his colour dulled and there he was just shedding away it was a great birthday present does anyone know any ways of preserving the skin so it can be payed out? Suggestions appreciated |

| To straighten a shed I lay it on a smooth surface hold the mouth bit open and blow into it, it blows up like a balloon takes out all the creases and twists then reduce the amount you blow bit by bit and it falls smooth and flat. |

| All my snakes have their own scrap books that I stick their sheds in and date. Its great to flick through and see their growth. |

| I've got Kelloggs' first shed, currently around a pictured frame, but think I'll be getting a scrap book for him. I've already got a diary for feeds/poos/sheds, so may put it in the back of there... Although it would be nice to have it in a scrap book odifferent coloured paper. Might have to get creative! |

I do very similar and keep them in a display folder with plastic pockets, and put snake name, date & age on the page the shed is in. I've just ordered 3 x 40 page folders so they have a book each |
