    Never watched before...

    Today my stub tailed wandering decided it was time for a new set of clothes. I have never watched it before. The sheds in the past were always like visits from Santa or the Tooth Fairy. You know it happens, but you never catch 'em in the act. It was so cool to see the muscles flex as he sloughed it off. Neato.

    Shedding is amazing! My favorite part is watching the snake rub it's nose against everything to initiate the process.

    My Kingsnake sometimes needs a bath to help shed. Sometimes he'll even shed in my hands. That muscle flexing you mentioned feels a lot weirder than it looks.
    Which is more tempting: The fruit of knowledge or the possessed, talking serpent? DUH! - The Serpent!
