The shed skin measured 14.5 inches in length and Slick does look a little bit more shiny then usual. Slick never showed any sign of shedding, so I was surprised to see skin in the enclosure this morning. So, it brings up a few questions in my mind about snakes after they shed.

Are snakes generally more sensitive to touch after shedding? It is ok to handle the snake? How about the appetite, are they generally hungry or just not in the mood to eat? How many inches will they grow before they shed again and how long before the next shedding?
