Unusual theme this month. Thankfully I've never had to assist any of my snakes with shedding but I look forward to seeing all the pictures :)

[RedSidedSPR]

I've assisted several but I didn't take a dang picture.

Actually I do have a few, but it doesn't show my hand. And I wasn't really assisting, he didnt need it.

Guess you just need the camera on standby and grab one in the process :P ... had hoped to see some more pics.

[RedSidedSPR]

I've never had to assist a shed but once, and I didn't take pictures.

I have a video/pictures of one of my snakes shedding on my bed, and I am helping him with traction. Lol. but I don't think it counts

[Stefan-A]

I have video of it, but no pictures.

Or we could just discontinue the caption contest (5th month in a row with zero entries) and replace it with a video contest.

or just add videos to the contest entries

I've been trying to wait as long as I can for a snake to shed (any second now..) but I might just post a screenshot. Although the video could come in handy later if this ever goes into effect:

Which is actually a neat idea.

i think adding videos could increase entries instead of making it a picture only contest. but then voting gets a little biased because the videos would just be better most of the time with more of a chance for something "cool" to happen when a pic is just a pic nothing is going to change. so in other words i don't know what to do now lol

[RedSidedSPR]

It's a photo contest and has been forever, the winner goes up on the home page, something a video can't and shouldn't do.

No.

[RedSidedSPR]

(any second now..)

Of course I missed it.

[Stefan-A]

Congratulations to the winner.
