    We have some rough textured rocks in our tanks and never had any injuries. Our snakes do use them to help with shedding.

    Looks like she decided to anchor the shed on the plastic of the plant. One of ours did the same thing on her last shed.

    I can't tell from the photo, are both eyecaps there, and the tip of the tail? When they shed checking that the eyecaps have been shed properly is the most important thing to do.

    yep the very tip of the tail is there, and both eye caps are there as well i removed the skin it came apart in 3 pieces as i tried to get it out. it was one complete piece in the tank. the head part is so cool, the mouth part is open lol my youngest finally got brave and touched it, so now she is going to bring it to school tomorrow to show everyone.

    I discovered lava rock can be fun for the snakes when you hide snacks in the air holes.. i stuffed some egg pieces in there, and some worm pieces and they are loving pulling the lil pieces out. Hunting around the rock..

    So it was an easy, successful shed.

    We have a couple of rocks in one of our vivs, not lava rock, but rough. The two in that viv love climbing on the rocks and posing like mountaineers.
