snake shed again...

[zamaya]

it wasnt complete this time though, i guess ill have to get better at taking care of him so its complete everytime.
but im so confused, on the shed, his head isnt even there, i must have missed it right? since they start shedding from their head...:confused:

Sometimes the head gets stuck with the rest of the skin and so will look like it is missing. Also sometimes sheds aren't perfect. Not because of improper care...just cause it happens. As long as the shed isn't coming off in small patches, or has areas that aren't coming off at all you are probably okay :)

Also pictures of your snake after a shed would be awesome. They are sometimes their most stunning right after a shed ;)

the easiest way to see if the heads not shed is to look at the eyes for retained eye caps

it is entirely possible his head has not shed

that said the head may have shed and so far you've yet to find it in his tank

k, thanks :D
i will when my mom wakes up, my sister hasn't been letting me use her camera, she's convinced that he'll give her salmonella, lol

heres a pic of him(and my obnoxiously large hand, lol), he's so shiny :D

he is adorable!

[zamaya]

thank you!

[shaunyboy]

his head seems nice and shiney in the picture

usually un shed areas appear dull due to the old skin still being in place

cheers shaun
