Cornflake shed for the second time. We just missed it but seeing as we saw her first one we don't mind. And this time her skin came off in one complete piece. Eye caps were ok too and she seemed very pleased with herself. Measured the skin and she has grown 3.5 cm in length since last shed. She growing up so fast!!!

Glad it went well, but remember shed does get stretched coming off, so not really accurate to measure

I deducted 10% from the shed skin to get the right measurement. Is that not right?

I could be wrong, (often am!) but it really is not accurate if shed was to say get stuck on a log when coming off it would stretch more.
There is a snake measuring app if you want a better idea of correct size, or if you can get snakie out for a wander might go in straight line beside tape measure
