Snakely Speaking

[Stefan-A]

Terms used for a snake shedding:
Ecdysis(ec·dy·sis  [ek-duh-sis])
Opaque Phase
Blue Phase

Well actually... ecdysis would be when an arthropod sheds. When snakes shed, it's "moulting", "shedding" or "sloughing".

Nevermind, people still insist on using it when speaking about reptiles.

I apologize if I made a mistake. I have found it on many website that talk about snakes and also in Mader's Reptile Medicine book. I didn't know.
