Ok,

I have been keeping black pine snakes for several years and every time one of them sheds they change in physical appearance. They seem to get larger and look more heavily bodied and you can see the interstitial skin as if they have eaten a meal but the scales are separated the length of the body. I have Northern Pines as well but this phenomenon does not seem to occur. Once they shed they go back to normal.

Any one else notice this with their black pines ?
