Yeah he is I can't wait to measure his skin and see how much of a change there is! I just saw him rubbing against the inside of his tree hide so I think he is gonna start tonight! I will definitely try to post pics when he's done!

it's better to not hold your snake when they are in blue. the reason they are milky looking is because they are secreting a substance to release the old skin from the new skin and when you hold them you can just stick it back together and give them a crappy shed. i've forgotten and handled mine in blue before lol.

Thank you I will definitely consider this next time. If it's any consolation, he shed just fine luckily (see following pics)

Re: Enzo is going into shed again :D My growin boy!

Officially shed yesterday (10/2/13)- Second shed since I got him! His saddles are starting to look more orange. Hmmm... Also, I haven't officially measured him but between the 2 skins, it looks like he grew 4-5 inches! Yay! Should be over the 2ft mark then!

Here's the skin... One perfect piece!


New paint job!!!



I LOVE his face
