Basil Sheds His Skin
Description:
2012/08/04: I was cleaning the reptile enclosures at The Wildlife Center* today when Basil the bull snake started shedding. I had the iPhone handy and was able to get a picture of how the process works. Apologies to those who find this sort of thing more gross than fascinating. *2016/04/12: The Wildlife Center is now New Mexico Wildlife Center: http://thewildlifecenter.org https://nmwceducation.org [taxonomy:binomial=pituophis catenifer] [taxonomy:common=bull snake]
