Have to toddle off to uni soon but absolutely HAD to post what happened this morning. Probably not of interest to those who have experienced it 20 000000000 times on this forum, but my snake shed last night! His first shed with me and my first shed with any snake, I got up thismorning and found his perfectly shed skin wrapped around his fake vine/plant/thing. Funny as I’d gone to all the effort of getting him a bunch of different rough textured rocks to help shed haha. I’d like to think he used them at some point .
He is looking the most vibrant I have ever seen him, so so shiny with bright yellow/orange and fluro yellow around his face and belly just like his mother (can’t ever seem to capture it as it is actually fluro like a highlighter marker). He is so active (little squirmy wriggly thing made it hard to get pics) which is great fun to handle him, he was so mopey as he was coming into shed, but such a good boy never getting cranky at me for getting him out.
Anyway here are some pics of the skin and the snake, I hope you can see how gorgeous his yellow is looking, so vibrant and deep! I hope he turns out a high yellow as he matures. I also love his crazy pattern! Seems a little different to the usual stripes out there, but I’m not that experienced so not sure if it’s normal.
Cheers
The skin itself
Being a little squirmy bugger wanting to explore while mummy takes pictures
Under the chair! Not helping XD
Loving his pattern
Look at me!
Blurry but showed good colour eg on my mac
Now just have to find what to do with the skin!
