    Snaky finally shed!

    Yay! My female T.s.pallidulus 'Snaky' has finally shed. She's been working on this for a good week or more now, so it's about time.
    For two days now, since her eyes got very bluish and cloudy, I had a damp towel in her tank draped across the many rocks on the bottom, to keep the humidity up for her. The result, as you can hopefully see below, is a perfect, unsoiled & intact skin including the head and eyecaps and it's about 22" long, which is a bit longer than Snaky I think, but isn't stretched in the picture, just straightened (and torn once due to me.)

    Cool! Very cool! And she's so shiny and fresh looking!
    I have yet to take her out for inspection, and it's about midnight here so more pics will have to wait till tomorrow when I take her out and clean the tank.

    She also crapped nearby, so I am less concerned about any substrate ingestion lately (the substrate has been removed) but one more crap will assure me more that she is happy and healthy.

    Ok, let me try to upload this picture...



    There, I think.. Maybe kinda small, I won't know till it posts. Anyhow, more pics tomorrow. 'night everyone!

    Re: Snaky finally shed!

    If anyone could take a moment, before I go and either post pics or start a gallery, what's the problem with how I posted the above image?
    I tried 'attach' and I tried manually entering [ img ] tags, but it still came up as that link.

    You just need to create your own gallery on the forum, then you can add pics straight into your posts, like this.....

    Re: Snaky finally shed!

    Ahhh. OK, Thanks for that; I will have a few fine examples of 'why I don't take very many pictures' up soon in my new gallery.

    EDIT: They should be viewable now in the gallery, if not, please let me know.
