BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

just wondering. because i think i may have a bit of ocd- i kind of waver between the last 2 options. sometimes even when i'm about to throw something out i stop myself

elements only gone through 2 sheds while he was in my possesion and both times the shed was all broke up and mixed in with the substrate so i really cant vote.

I would save a really neat head/face shed to photograph, and have a few very large foot sheds lying around somewhere.

Yuri's only shed a few times, so maybe the novelty will wear off but I love his feet sheds, like he's just pulled off a pair of gloves or socks. I only have a couple though but I'm pretty sure I would keep more if I liked them.

When I was on holiday in Gambia last Christmas I made friends with a tiny wee skink that lived in the tree beside my lounger. All the other lizards scarpered whenever anyone came near but he would sit and watch me. I like to think we had an understanding. He had a shed half way through the holiday and I found all his tail shed in the tree, so I kept it. I miss 'Wee Man'.

I kept one foot shed that I found when he was only a baby. Usually there's only crap bits left that aren't worth keeping.

The foot bit wasn't that great either

i keep all of my snakes' shed. i actually have a shadow box frame displayed with alfy and pup's head shed.

GREAT SHOT, ZENNY!!! Very nice.


Haha, crap bits. I've said that exact thing before.

here's the other one you just asked me for

it's inside out though so it doesn't look as cool. i tried turning it rightside out but it was breaking.

It's just fine -- these will go on the carepage in just a bit. Thanks for finding the picture for me.

Very cool! I get the same crap bits Lisa does. I think all three of them just destroy everything in the process of shedding that even if there were cool pieces by time I get home they are destroyed.

Yeah, none of my guys shed in good pieces, otherwise I would save it. I really regret that I didn't save my tarantula's last molt I wanted to, but got busy and never got around to doing it. But next time I will be ready .

I've saved all of my corn snakes shed....they always come out perfect

I tended to save it a lot more when Frankie was in my classroom because the kids loved to look at it and touch it.

I don't save the shed, but I love watching the actually shedding process. I could seriously sit and watch a reptile shedding for hours.

I can't watch without having to help. I like to scratch their backs and watch it all come off.

I keep my perfect snake sheds and donate them to the zoo for education classes.

I've kept some cool bluey sheds (feet and stuff) to photograph but then I toss them.

I have a saved face shed and a couple ear bags, usually the shed gets mixed in with substrate so I don't keep it. I try to keep all my tarantula molts, but then I feel silly and find someone else that wants one so they don't go to waste.

the one you gave me of mo has it's own sofa! you'll see soon enough.

that's great! Another one of Mo's sheds went to a friend of mine in Portland, OR. She keeps it on her dresser and loves to scare people with it!
