Exclamation Shed Question??

hey my brb just shed tonight and i missed it but i have a question. is this shed good it is all pretty much in once piece but it breaks off because my snake just seems to get it wrapped around stuff so tight it just rips a little.

here are the pics of the shed and also some of the pics i took right after the shed. the colors were amazing so i have to post some.
please let me know if this shed is ok.

Re: Shed Question??

nice pictures ALL of them. I like to see whole sheds but sometimes they get cought in things as you said and break. As long as its all off and the eye caps are cleared.

Re: Shed Question??

Aww I love all the pictures!
The colours are amazing!!
The shed looks fine from what I can see. Check to make sure there are no eye caps and that the whole piece of shed came off the bottom of the tail. Other than that, congrats on a nice shed.

Re: Shed Question??

oh ok ya the whole shed is there the head was off in once piece and then it broke right at the neck. when it breaks it breaks as if you were to take a full shed and just use scissors. but other than that it is a complete cylinder like shed just broken up.
the rips all seemed to happen at the top of the snake and he last 18-20 inches all came off perfect.

Re: Shed Question??

ya there are no special colors used or anything it's just with and without the flash. i couldn't believe the colors. everytime my brb sheds it seems to get more vibrant and better.

Re: Shed Question??

With sheds aslong as there's none stuck anywhere then you're good. Be sure to check head pieces for both eye caps and make sure the tip of the tail has shed too. Those are the two places to watch for when a snake sheds.

Is that mommy in the last pic? I must say your son does look like his dad. Give him a few more years and he'll look older than you!

Re: Shed Question??

ya thats my girlfriend and his mommy. and ya i know i look young. for my birthday i was at dinner and the waitress asked if i was turning 17 or 18. i was like im 20 ***. she made me prove it by showing her my drivers license.

both eyecaps are here and also the last 2/3rds of the skin was shed perfect. its just frustrating to not have a perfect shed. darn snake had the skin wrapped around so much junk it ripped.

Re: Shed Question??

Your girlfriend is very pretty and your son is so adorable! =]
AHAH! I've had similar thing happen to me. My younger sister looks 19 even though she's really only 14 and because of that and the fact that i'm shorter than her, it makes me look like I'm 12 not 16, which I am. She can get into movies that I can't, and whenever we go anywhere everybody says to her "oh is that your younger sister?".

Sounds kinda frustrating. My bp's first shed since I got him was pretty bad so I fixed up the conditions and now I'm hoping his next shed will be nice and perfect. Maybe next time your snake won't wrap it around so much that it rips.

Re: Shed Question??

If you lived close enough to me Kyle I'd just give you snake sheds from here. I get plenty of them.

Re: Shed Question??

the pearly is because of the water that i sprayed on the tank she doesnt really drink out of the water bowls so she drinks the beads on her skin or the moss or on the walls and ornaments in the tank. but the rainbow colors are how she looks all the time when she is not in shed. it's cool to take her out in the sunlight because she has such beautiful skin and her skin is really nice and perfect. thats why im pissed about not having perfect sheds.
This is her second shed since i got her and they have both been wrapped around so much that i almost rip them when i try and take the pieces out.
