I've never witnessed any of my snakes shed since I've been keeping them. And I have a fair few.

They're masters at making sure you're not looking, but I have witnessed it a few times.
My boas have become specialists now though as they don't even bother to come out of their hides any more. They somehow manage to scrunch it all up, I'll have to post a pic next time one of them sheds to show what I mean
