Jesse's garter snakes

[RedSidedSPR]

Yup.

Roosters eyes cleared up Monday morning, but he hasn't shed yet. None of my snakes have taken this long after clearing up. Is this normal?

[kibakiba]

Snap took 4 days after she went clear to shed.

[RedSidedSPR]

Ok as long as It's not a retained shed or anything. Thanks!

[kibakiba]

Pick him up and bend his side a little bit, if the skin is really wrinkly when you do, it's likely retained.

[RedSidedSPR]

Nope. It's not.

The timing varies a lot Jesse. Here lately, before I sold Amy, he would shed and look good only for a few days then go right back to faded and "blue". He stays that way for a freaking month before he finally clears and sheds. So, even the same snake can have widely varying timing on the shedding stages.

[RedSidedSPR]

A month!? Weird.....

Well anyhoo, he just shed. And for the FIRST TIME EVER, I watched the WHOLE THING!!! I saw him moving around and new he was starting, and I got a video of the entire shed! iPod is acting weird and won't let me upload it until I trim it down to 2:00 - 3:00, instead of the original 12:00.... I'll work on that and post it tonight if it works.

Awesome.

Now that he shed, I also got my contest entry. Will take a few more to see what I come up with, but I'm happy with the results...

There are some people (like me) who like watching the whole long video I like seeing snakes shed, but I also have too much time on my hands

[RedSidedSPR]

Yeah it's better short, means anyone can watch it instead of clicking "watch later" lol

Made a thread, for those un-subscribed. But here it is.


I just watched for the first time, one of my snakes (Rooster my concinnus baby) shed from start to finish. Doug my homework, saw him moving and new what he was doing.

I took a video of the entire thing, it was 12:00 minutes long. Had to take it with my iPod (camera was dead) therefore had to upload it from my iPod (no computer yet anyway) and it made me shorten it to 3:00. Had to trim it up like you'll see. Probably for the better.

I was all ninja like, weilding my iPod and camera (video and pics) at the same time! Whatever, just saying thats what the flashes are....

Anyhoo...
