Saved a failed shed: Pics

[Gyre]

I came home from my Iaido practice and found Bucephalus finally shedding. Unfortunately, the skin was a little shredded and had stopped peeling back at eye level.. Luckly, I just recently learned what to do!

I put her in our gecko's shed box and the skin came off perfectly from the neck down.

I've got some pictures too...

Nice job, Hannah . You learn quickly . Just be sure to double check that the spectacles came off with the skin around the head.

Already checked. Everything came off the head fine. It was mostly the underside that was torn up.. But she was not happy when I found her.

Our gecko actually had eyes shedding problems, so we've been using these humid hides, and boy do they come in handy.

I was mostly excited because I actually caught her sheddig for once. Not in time for last month's Photo contest anyway.

Wow! Were you at MY house today? Lol. Zuki shed today, too. I was so excited to catch it. He/she was having a little trouble with the tail, but after a good soak it came off easily.

Zuki's addorable, lol They always seem so relieved after a shed.

So sorry - I don't have pictures . . .
Samantha, my Plains Garter also shed today.
I found her all bright-eyed and velvety-looking the tip of her tail just pulling away from the shed, which was still wet.
I'd been worried that she'd have a bad shed because of the vet visit yesterday.
Usually I don't handle the snakes much when they're this close to shed.
Wow, three sheds in a day. We should see whether they're in sync next time.
