Hey, what a day! Just as I was sitting down to eat a late lunch/early dinner: Q started to shed! It's the first time I've watched an entire shed on such a long snake!
Boy it looked tough! She had a hard time getting it started and I thought it was going to be a terrible ity-bity shed, but then most of it came off in 3 or 4 longer pieces.
The photo quality isn't great because I stopped using the florescent lights and only use the spot now. I think the florescents were making the snakes irritable during the day causing them to spend more of the time under the hides... I don't think I would have been able to watch all this if they had been on!
You can see her trying to get the skin off her face by rubbing against the side of the pool in the first pic...

WOW! That's so cool! I would've been dropping crumbs all over the place just so I didn't miss one minute of that shed! By the way...what was for lunch/supper?

Thanks everyone! Jem: I had yoghurt chicken with noodles and broccoli for lunch/dinner (I just let it get cold and re-heated it after the shed... I didn't want to miss anything either!)
Q is very pretty now, but I really hope she starts gaining some weight. I can't stand how thin she looks!
Watching the shed was cool, but it looked like such hard work! I wanted to do something to help her, but the only thing I did was immediately remove the big dump she took at the beginning so that she didn't have to crawl through it or drag the skin through it! She kind of gave me a grateful look for that!

Oh I like the darker ones a lot, Rachel... post pics of your pair when you can: I'd love to see them.

Thanks for the compliments, everyone!
