...and my terrapins, but i think they ate it cos they were bored rather than for any particular reason...

Well, my slider, skinks and anoles never did.

I've read that snakes can eat their sheds, but I've never personally seen it. I also agree that your snake's head looks good, Nessy. If it hasn't eaten the missing portion, maybe it's just stuck to a wall, ceiling, or wedged in a small crevice somewhere. They become very sticky after they're peeled off and can adhere to anything, particularly the smooth surfaces of the water bowl.

I agree, nice snake; maybe you should enter the photo contest (hint, hint, nudge nudge)

nessy · 01-03-2007, 12:39 PM

haha, thanks guys, i'll keep that in mind.

but it's not fancy/colourful like all your snakes, mine is pretty ordinary, i'd rather admire your pictures.
but i am flattered though. thanks.

thanks for all your help by the way!!!

So, mine is ordinary (Although, I did lose with zero votes) and I still put it in there.

What is ordinary? I have 1 albino, the rest is the 'ordinary' coloration of the different species. That doesn't mean you can't have a nice animal and take a nice picture
