as well as his advanced age and that generally he didn't think there was anything wrong with the snake. He thought maybe if he continued to put on weight it would help further reduce the amount of loose skin on him, but that also he may always form these edema pockets due to a reduction in the elasticity of the skin from old age.

That snake is by no means 'advanced age'. They commonly live over 30 years and forty is not out of the question. He is in the prime of his life.



I have never seen snakes of any age swell when shedding.
