That feeling you get when your snake has a clean shed [emoji16]

When I rescued this little guy he had 3 bad shed stuck to him, he looked awful. The family he came from admitted to their kids constantly dropping him, and missing several of his feeds. Seeing this nice clean shed from him is euphoria!

Awesome! I'm glad you had a good shed. I know the feeling after having a bad one and then you have a perfect 1-piece one! Congrats.
 
Amanda- YES he can burry himself whenever, humidity stays perfect at all times and I love the easy clean up! I use it with all my corns and BPs

Xendrgn- I had no clue he was in shed! But at soon as I see my BP's go blue I do the exact same thing! Multiple times a day!!

I have some variant of an amel (right now she looks like a candy cane, but that could easily change since she's only 3-4 months old) but it was pretty easy to see her start. I noticed her color getting darker and darker then one day I went to pull her out in our usual routine and she -ran- for her hide. Even once I had her she tried to get away and latched onto her hide (she's NEVER done that) so first time I was like.. weird but ok maybe she's just having an off day. When she did the same the next day in a row I was like.. hmm.. take a hint! so left her alone. Then I noticed her getting lighter and lighter. Like.. from a deep crimson to bubblegum pink. So I put in her damp hide, and she has't left it since. We're hitting the 1 week mark now so.. any day! .. any.. day now please .. so anxious/excited.

Since I don't have any moss, I make her damp hide using damp napkins in a hide over the heated side. but it means I have to change them out every day to keep the moisture up. So during one of the recent changes (Usually I leave her be, pull out one of the napkins, wet it, and put it back) I pulled her out of the hide for a moment to snap a good picture so I can get a 'before and after' post. Cause I know a lot of people are like 'how do I know my amel's in shed'?
 
I want to do document the next time he goes into shed! I did this with my BP, Dolce. From day one to day 12 ( when she finally shed out) I wrote down her color and behavior. With both my amels I had zero clue they were in shed except for the fact that my snow motley (blitz) became super aggressive but I thought it was just her attitude but that night I cleaned out her enclosure and found her shed inside her hide!

I use Eco earth for all my snakes and "mist" their enclosures daily, twice a day with my BP's. I know it's not necessary for corns but, I feel it definitely benefits them in the long run with shedding.

That would be an awesome idea. It is fascinating how different they all are during different phases of shed.
