Default First successful shed:)

I'm only posting because I'm so pleased, Polly (my Royal Python), has just had her first shed since I got her and it was very successful....one big sock just as it should be. This'll be largely down to a lot of the posts I've read on here (and the book recommendations I got).

Just wanted to say thanks!

I fed her last night and dangled the little mouse just outside her hide (usually at feeding time she appears). Flippin eck what a rate she came out of there to grab it!

Initially she didn't strike, hubby had experienced it, but that was my first.....she wasn't the only one to shed, I nearly jumped out of my skin

Anyway thanks a lot for all the posts/advice.
