ok, stupid Shed Question

ecb Jun 19, 2005 07:43 PM

I have heard about patternless sheds
Do not understand what they are about
My Daughters snake SHeds and we can clearly see the pattern of the Shed, large scales and snall ones in exact pattern

NOW I have a Male Normal, he had his forst good shed for me, but its all Grey and almost Black onthe back, Belly is clear like my Daughters snake, but the back is Dark Grey, with VERY dark Grey SPots where he had Mites, or a Problem before I got him

Is this a Normal Shed?
and My Daughter's a "Patternles" Shed

Please explain

this is a clear shed.

Its been laying around for about a year so it might be a little dirty.

A clear shed has no pigmentation at all.

well, originally clear shed was associated with ghost/hypo balls.

I don't know if any of the new morphs shed clear, but at one time it was just ghosts/hypos that had clear sheds.

They will shed clear every shed if they are ghost/hypo.
