Does any one else feel sorry for your snakes?

[JustJordan]

Dont worry im not turning into a Anti

What im getting at is,
Do any of you guys feel sorry for their snakes when they are in shed?
Cant be nice feeling like that, hardly able to see.
No wonder some of them get cranky.
or is it a bt like time of the month to these guys, and they take it in their stride?

Bet it feels nice one they have shed tho..

yh but i would love to be able to shed my skin in one piece

If they feel anything like me at my time of the month then yes I do feel very sorry for them

Actually, my snakes generally seem okay when they're shedding - they can be a touch more flighty, but nobody bites or gets aggressive. My CRB even continues to feed when she's blue. I think they just get on with it to be honest.

My Royals just sulk... bless them, doesnt look happy

Fall over!? lmao

I don't think they sit in their hides because they're miserable... it's more likely that they're just staying put because their reduced vision would make them more vulnerable to predators. That's what I've always assumed anyway.
