Update: Blood Python Shedding Issue (She eats her skin)
Hello all, several months ago I posted that my 2012 Sumatran blood python was going through the shedding process but never produced a skin.
http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/gener...-thoughts.html
She is healthy, beautiful, continues to grow, eat, drink and has been eating her shed skins immediately after shedding them. It takes a while to get a blood python fecal sample (as I am sure my fellow blood keepers can attest) but yesterday she provided one and I got my confirmation.

She must have leopard gecko syndrome. Hope you get that sorted out, setup a camera for her next shed, I'm curious to see it in action.

Re: Update: Blood Python Shedding Issue (She eats her skin)
I am mostly just relieved that is it not a matter of a stuck shed or compounding stuck sheds. I have found very little literature on the matter of snakes eating their skin post shed and it's basically all from people who have experienced it with their own snake(s) rather than in a species overview in a book, wikipedia, or any of the various caresheets available online. As well, it looks like it goes more on a snake to snake basis rather than species to species.
I do not own a camera and I am not sure I want to spend the money to be able to record it although I am leaning more toward getting a camera. In the meantime, here is a video of a Cribbo eating it's shed skin
