My wife came home last night and found "Red" with his brand new skin.
He shed perfect and that was a relief. When ever we get a snake in for re home 9 out of 10 times they're not eating or their shedding is awful. So with a lot of patience, f/t rodents and warm baths they all come out fine in the end.
Anyway, back to 'Red", our adult blood red corn snake.
In the episode before we left "Red" soaking in his warm bath preparing to shed his old skin.
I'll post the photo of him soaking and in pre-shed and then a couple of new photo's of him after his shed and let you decide.
Personally I don't see much difference, but my wife does.

He is a very beautiful guy. He obviously has a good weight on him also. Glad the shed went along uncomplicated! I've rescued a lot of animals including snakes many moons ago, and they can be the most picky, depressed, sulky animals on the planet when they don't like change! But its really good it went well for him. He must still be happy then
