hi
i want to keep my hatchling's shed skin, just the first complete shed, so i have always got it to remind me of how little he is, but, as it's skin, i expect it to become brittle and break up and crumble away, is there a way to preserve it please? |

| There fine, I kept my snakes first shed he had with me from 8 years ago until I did a clean-up of my room and accordantly chucked it :( Keeping it somewhere it's not going to get mauled will be fine like a bag or a container or something. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

| My snake hasn't shed since I brought her home, so I can't talk from experience, but my uncle has still has the skin of a massive rattlesnake from about 20 years ago and it's been fine just hanging on a hook in the wall. Weird, I know, it's just how rednecks roll bahaha x |

Mine are hanging either side of my computer monitor . I've kept Twilight's first when he was a wee baby and keep the latest one to compare it with the newest, then chuck the older one. Saracen's done two but I only have one as the last one he scrunched into a poo covered ball - yeuch . |

I keep a diary beside beetlejuice's viv which I mark every time he eats,sheds and goes to the toilet and every time he sheds I put the skin in the day/date he sheds so the book keeps it nice and flat.
I think i'm sad !!!! |

| I have most of Alices sheds from when he was a baby as his previous owner saved them in a small plastic tub. I have just bought a couple of scrap books to stick Alices sheds in with rough snake lengths written in. Izzy hasn't shed with me yet but I will be ready when he does |

You guys are so lucky. I have only had Kellog and Silvesta as adults so have no idea what they looked like when they were small....so keeping their sheds is a great idea cos then you can compare them and see how much they have grown when they reach the size of my 2 monsters!

I set a part of my corns first shed in resin. Its pretty easy to do, i Made a mold the size and shape of a large ring and set the Shed inside it.
after i polished it up i have a clear plastic ring with Cherry's shed going all the way around the inside of the ring. It looks really pretty and really comfortable to wear. |
