So my little snow shed last night, was a little worried because there wasn't a head on the skin...just went up to check she's alright and have found another completely intact skin up in her tree!? Is this normal?

... I've never heard of that happening before, but then I've only had my snake for about two months, maybe someone more experienced will know. You're sure both sheds are complete (apart from the first one's head)? It couldn't be that one bit was her back half and the other her front half or something?

I would say one shed two parts I have had this a couple of times it must be the way they pull it about when shedding.

It's definitely 110% 2 sheds. The first one is a little screwed up because it was in her water. She has eaten today and seems fine but will keep an eye on her and hope she just retained one :)
