My snake log

[Light of Dae]

So last night I went to shut off lights n what do I see in with my flames?

Two perfect shed skins! Looks like they shed at the same time, following each other lol
I should have taken a picture before moving the sheds they looked too cute but I wanted to be sure they were intact n that nothing was retained. I knew both were dull at last feeding but I find it kinda cool they shed at the same time


These are pictures are from before the shed, Will be feeding again today so I'll take more current pictures But these are cute too.


Here in this picture you can see her tongue is in shed too! It is normally dark black n bright red.

Found a few sheds today, looks like the bigger female Zacapu shed perfect. Then in the males tank there was a shed from the mid sized Zacapu missing the tail tip, n chin piece was ripped off but there. As well there was another shed from one of the Easterns missing top head piece n tail, head piece was found on the other side of the tank.

Both stuck tail pieces were easily removed with a warm wet paper towel, works wonders every time

Everyone is doing great, George is gone to the blue side again. Flames are happy n fat, all babies are active and doing good.
Oh and everyone poops... a lot lol

All is well.

Glad you were able to help with the slightly problemed sheds, and every one else is good

Yea catching a problem shed soon after the shed its really easy to get off, Warm wet paper towels n slight pressure as you let the little one squirm out works like a charm! Haven't had any retained shed issues so far. I've always checked the shed n double checked the snake to be sure. Not sure I'd ever want to deal with a few days old stuck shed... That I think would be way harder to get off.

Always check a shed

Well had another successful feeding day, were everyone ate. No more shortened tails lol Mister Eastern with the tail tip missing wouldn't let me get a good picture lol he sits still when I am applying ointment to his tail but as soon as I pick up my camera he flicks his tail back n forth so fast all I get is a blur. I think he is embarrassed about being shorter then his buddies. lol a joke could be made here...

He hides it well, sitting on top the greenery he tucks it in to hide it. It's kinda funny.

I think he needs a visit with Stubby. So he can be happy that he didn't lose as much as he did! They can compare stories.

Here is the female with the line on her belly. She shed the other day and there was a hole in the shed skin but It appears that she got it off separately. I put her in a warm shed box n checked after an hour, nothing, two hours, nothing, left her over night and still nothing to start so... She is so friendly!

Oh and George also shed a few days ago and seeing a few missing scales on the bottom center chin I assumed that they must be stuck on George. So grabbed him n got a paper towel warm n wet, I started rubbing his chin, he wasn't having it lol
He squirmed n squirmed n just started staring at me(with a flattened head) like he was going to bite me(or at least like he'd get me back for this) He stopped fighting n just sat there, looking at me...

I think he stared to enjoy it. He didn't want to get off my hand lol Finally put him back in the viv. I had given up that I couldn't get anything on his chin. Start looking around to where his shed was wrapped around... There the missing scales were attached to the water dish. duh!

Good boy George.
