Hi Everyone!

I only have one garter, and it's my first snake. I was traveling a lot for my job this month, but got a good gift. After spending 3 days in Denver, I returned home to LA to find:

I've never thought about keeping The Boys' sheds! I'll have to think about that. Maybe I could make some kind of artsy-fartsy wall-thingy outta them...

I save them only long enough to make sure the kids see them. Then they're gone.
But I'm not really a "saver" of anything.
I'm not very sentimental, I guess.........;)

Gertie, I bag them individually in ziploc bags with the name and date. It's just cool to go back and see how much each snake grew between sheds. :-)

Oh, Lori! What a neat idea! Yeah! That would tell me how they have/are grown/growing! Very cool!
