How could it have anything to do with security? I don't get it?

Ball pythons are nocturnal, why would they shed while trying to sleep?

Come to think of it, I've never had a snake shed during the daytime, always at night.

Yeah, I collect mine too, I put them in a box after that have dried out. Think I might put some of them together and frame them. Am I weird?

i think they're kind of gross (as in, I wouldn't keep them for myself), but my grandfather is fascinated by snakes and wants me to keep them for him...since he's the ONLY person in the family who has any warm attitude towards snakes, he gets what he wants...hehe. The only thing I think is kind of cool is the skin from the head, since it still has the indentation of the nose and the eyecaps.
