The complete shed

Figured I'd just restart the thread, since it's been a while. Here is Petra, my 1yr old male T.s.conccinus (Oregon Redsided) going through his shed cycle.

Blue eyed phase



Eyes have now cleared up....this is two days after the previous photo



the next day he began to shed in the morning, you can just see the skin is off the top of his head here



..and here's the shed (he finished while I was eating breakfast....took only less than 20min.)..you can just see one of the eye caps in the head section

Re: The complete shed

Yeh, I'm hoping that as he gets older, more and more of the red will come through.

Very nice looking snake, I hope as Petra gets older, he'll develope more red in his head, but I hope he doesn't loose the light colour of the lower labials. I really like how it looks on him.
