The amazing triple shed!!!

[gregmonsta]

All three of our garters are in shed ... all three species and all at the same time amazing!!!

Wow!! That IS amazing-- what, are they all co-ordinating some major break out attempt and decided to synchronize sheds to make it easier??!!

maybe it's a seasonal thing

maybe it's a seasonal thing

lol
That works too.

This happens to me quite often. At some times in the year, up to three quarters of my 30 garter snakes will go into shed at once!!!

When I had hermit crabs they would always molt at the same time.

Could it be a mmmh, hormonal thing? You know when several women live together their cycles (no not bicycles!) also coincide. Something to do with the smell. Apparently. Eek.

[Lori P]

Yeah, I was thinking that too... the vets call it Hell Week at our office. LOL

[gregmonsta]

could be .... I think that for the red-sided and the florida blue it was to be expected as they are very close to each other agewise. The radix on the other hand is a good bit older ... maybe he just felt like joining in with Slithers as they're tankmates?

one of my kings, who just shed less than a month ago, is shedding again - in synch with the king in the neighboring tank
at the same time four of my garters are in shed, as is the crested gecko
and whether it's a hormonal thing I wouldn't know, but the women's cycle is a form of sloughing as well - just interior rather than exterior
who knows - perhaps snakes repond to the moon or the weather or something else we're not aware of in the same way
