Great pics. I don't think shedding is something I will get bored of. I find the old shed skin fascinating and love having a shiny new snake

Am just going through 3rd shed in 3 weeks , as one has finished another has gone into blue never get bored of seeing snakes shedding.
All the best with removing the tail shed, if the damp towel doesnt work i have placed mine in a small amount of luke warm water for a short while (5min) and then allowed to slither through a towel and that has worked, one or the should succeed.

I have 4 snakes and have had them for 2 years, shedding doesn't get old, its always a great time, always fascinating. Next time you will have to be sat outside the vivarium until you get to watch them shed its amazing watching them do their belly dance wiggle to get out of the skin.
