>>Doing this once a week enabled my snakes to never have problems shedding during the very dry times of the year.



mark,

it would be an interesting experiment if some year you did your soaking process for half your snakes and didn't for the other half, and see if there was a diff in their shedding processes. doing them all and noting they didn't have any probs (and attributing that to your treatements) is like subscribing to the newspaper and suggesting a causal relationship to the fact there are no elephants in your yard LOL. I bring up the subject because i'm reading a neat book on the emergence of "natural philosophy", the scientific method, and I was reminded that i didn't do ANY of the special care you do but the outcome was the same--all my snakes shed fine too. ( i realize i'm in florida where it's pretty humid and you may be in the driest part of the country, so my comparison is not valid science either).

Regardless, this is a chance to learn more.

peace

terry
