Well this is the first time I've seen a snake shed and it was fascinating and made a great crackling noise. I think I was lucky to see the very first time and grabbed the camera. I thought I'd post the results. It was interesting to see the way he used the hide to peel it back as he entered.

Great photo's there! I was lucky enough to watch my first shed a week or two back. I didn't have the presence of mind to grab the camera until it was over though.

Hi Kazeralla, thanks.

Yeah I think I was lucky....it was the sound that turned my head but it was over in a flash so I guess its easy to miss!

Variable King and go-ahead use away. If you want full-res just drop me an email to mdtmail@yahoo.co.uk and I'll email them over.

Thanks Matt- it's ok I have right clicked and saved it. I'll use it on the shedding section so it doesn't need to be a large image

I'll let you know when I put it up

Matt- you are my new best friend

Just been on the care sheet for Variable kings and we don't have any pictures of them at all!

So, if you really don't mind us using some of your pics then I've a full page to use them on
