    A bright and shiney Martha

    Hello Peeps,
    Got home from work to-day and saw this


    A complete shed


    Eye caps are there


    The proud dad


    The shiney new Martha


    A post shed snack


    So there you go, my second shed and another one without a hitch,
    And of course Joe is as pleased as punch, cos he has an even bigger shed for show and tell.
    Mark and Joe

    Good news Mark and Master Joseph.
    Looks like Martha is in good hands.

    Looks like the pool could use a few more inches in it.

    Many of my snake use their water dish as an anchor point for a shed.

    Always nice to find a clean, complete shed. I like then when they are fresh before they dry, I need to work out a way to keep blowing air into the shed to keep it inflated so it dries inflated.
    Joe will enjoy taking that into school.

    I like to open up the mouth and blow into the shed. Then I hang it from both jaws. It tends to stay open. I have too much time on my hands...

    Sounds familiar. I find that the skin collapses part way down, and I don't have too much time on my hands, hence I'm considering ways to keep air blowing down the shed. I have an airbed pump which I could use, trouble is it's noisy, but all I'd have to do is find some way to rig it with the nozzle in the mouth of the shed and the shed hanging freely down... Next fresh shed.

    I wonder if an aquarium pump would work, it would be quieter.
