    Re: Hormonal component to shedding?

    Yesterday I posted on my thread about the shedding thing. My 3 girls that are housed together do this. Time between the first one showing signs of shed and the last one completing shed is about 3 to 4 weeks. I do log in each shed and measure it if not in pieces. I only have the three so it's easy to keep up with.

    "I do log in each shed and measure it if not in pieces" so did I until I realized that snakes were shrinking between measurements.

    Sometimes the shed gets stretched, sometimes it shrinks in low humidity. In any case skins are not an accurate way to measure the actual snakes.

    Oh I know this, I just do it for my own curiosity. Exact snake length is not important to me. My girls are not for breeding, they're my BLF (best legless friends).
