Hormonal component to shedding?

"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).
