interesting shed question

rdm01 Aug 19, 2009 08:27 AM

I think my python is a magician...

She went through what looks like a perfect shed but for some reason I can`t find the head section of the shed anywhere in the enclosure! I found the body section but the head is missing!
Her eyes looks crystal clear and her head seems perfectly shed like the rest of the body. I use papertowel so its very easy to see where things are in the cage.

What couldve happened to the head shed skin?

Thanks all!

Keep looking I am sure it is there somewhere, sometimes it gets stuck to the water bowl, I would ck there and on hides.

check inside the body section.

Ive had that same thing happen and when i let the shed dry and look down the middle- its stuck in the middle-- hard to notice on a wet sticky shed though.
