3 for 3 (all 3 snakes shed on same day!)

Maybe it's not that unusual, but all three of our snakes shed on the same day this weekend. I thought it was kind of odd. Considering their growth rates are quite different, it's quite a coincidence.

dat is actually quite common in collections.

I think even FR made a post referencing that just a week or two ago.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa, not kicking and screaming like his passengers.

Really?? That's fascinating. I can't imagine what biological forces are involved there to cause a thing like that.

I have heard the same thing about women living together as their monthly cycles coincide.

I have too, but I couldn't figure out a delicate way to fold that into this conversation...

Not only is that true, it has been documented in women's colleges. I assume pheremones would have something to do with it, as well as the sameness of the conditions in each tank and their proximity.
