strange shedding behavior

AdamSchools Dec 20, 2006 07:25 PM

a few minutes ago my female honduran just shed. i stopped watching and when i checked back she had atually turned around and slithered back into her already shed skin. When she came out the other end the next thing i know, my male comes out from his spot and goes right into the skin too.
Is this an actual behavior that ive never heard of orwas it just some funny thing i witnessed and will never see again?

I don't know but once I saw a cat eat some food and then barf it up and then eat it again. Sometimes I think animals just have a hard time making up their minds.

Recently found a hatchling milk inside his shed inverted. That is his head was at the tail end. Really puzzling and out of thousands of sheds that's the only example I've seen.

That's scary. I think you need to hang out with different people.

I never saw or heard of this behavior.. But, many years ago i had an udult cal king that ate his own tail.. He had consumed about half of his body when i found him???
