Well, I do not know if this is just a case of a very hungry snake or what but since I saw it eating its own shed before just made me wonder? It sniffs it as though it is just sniffing a new food item and obviously does not know it is smelling its own body as it bites itself during the shed, hence, it perhaps is a snake eater in the wild and when it emerges from shedding, is just too overcome by hunger to figure the difference. Perhaps I forgot to sign before as Dan as Fran is my wifes name.
