    The entire time I've had them, all the babies seem to shed at the same time. I'll turn my back for a minute, look again, and there's like 80 shed skins in the tank.

    That's how it went down when I still had 90 of them. Imagine about 80% of those shedding all in the same hour.

    Of course they wouldn't shed when someone is looking they're far to modest

    Yep. I look in the tank, change the water, no skins. Turn my back for 5 minutes, come back with their food, and they're all done shedding.

    God, i know. Pisses me off

    I've caught of few of my snakes shedding, but never when by waiting and watching. Gave that up after sitting for 4 hours waiting and having that same thing happen. Twice

    Re: Jesse's garter snakes

    I never see the scrubs shed and only a few times have I even been able to tell they're going to. Often I'll give them a pre-feeding look over, feed them, and then the next morning I find new skins. I don't even know who to check to make sure it all came off.
