I've never thought about keeping The Boys' sheds! I'll have to think about that. Maybe I could make some kind of artsy-fartsy wall-thingy outta them...

I save them only long enough to make sure the kids see them. Then they're gone.
But I'm not really a "saver" of anything.

Gertie, I bag them individually in ziploc bags with the name and date. It's just cool to go back and see how much each snake grew between sheds. :-)
