I have here 18 specimens of dekay all from the same litter, I almost never see more than one shed at a time.

18 snakes, same litter, 18 distinctly different shed cycles.

The common denominator is growth rate, the "alpha" snakes shed faster, the "runts" far less frequently.

The first sheds are so tiny!

Peace,
Wayne A. Harvey
