    Re: Sheds used in schools.

    lol .... that would definately wake up just about anyone . I've always wanted to put the sheds onto my basses. Recently there was a guitar released with real snake-skin from farmed pythons (which did annoy me a lot). Using used sheds is the way to go and they're all from my babies lol.

    Re: Sheds used in schools.

    Would you split the shed in half. Top from bottom? If not, how would you get it it lay flat?

    I would be varying what I will be doing with them. For most I'll be splitting the shed up the ventral scales.

    Re: Sheds used in schools.

    when I get nice complete sheds, there is a very easy way to flatten and store them. Take the shed and a small pair of scissors, and cut from the middle of the bottom jaw down the middle of the belly scales to the tail. Lay that flat out on a countertop or a table long enough for the whole thing. Take some water and rub it onto the skin until the entire thing is soaked. Snake skin becomes very fragile when wet, but also you can flatten and straighten it out completely. The I take a towel, blot the excess water off, and fire up the hairdryer and dry completely with that!! the result is a perfectly flat beautiful shed.... and then you can roll them up and store them in baggies like I do!!!

    Don't they stick to the counter as they dry? I find many of mine stuck to the water dish inside the enclosure. When I try to remove the dry shed it tears.

    Re: Sheds used in schools.

    I save the sheds for a few months, then I throw them out. The only shed I've kept, is my first snake's first shed.
