Do you know what an ecdysiast is?



An ecdysiast is one who, or that which, sheds its skin. In vulgar parlance, A stripper...



But I'm not a stripper. After what I've done,



I'm an ecdysiast!



(dialogue paraphrased from the Musical "Gypsy")

Ernestine shed yesterday, and I felt so lucky to be there to see it! I know she'll do this many times, but I got to watch the process, for her first shed home with me! It was great!
