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:

Dutch title: Natuurwonderen (Wonders of nature)Genre: Documentary, Nature, Education Intertitles: Dutch Tags: African chameleon (Chameleo africanus), Indian cobra (Naja naja) Running time: 5:26 Synopsis: An educational nature film in which some characteristics of a chameleon and a snake in an artificial environment are shown. We see various images of a chameleon and a snake filmed in captivity. - The African chameleon. This “clown-acrobat” is shown on a stick, while a hand in the frame occasionally sticks out a finger towards him. The rolling eyes, which can move independently of each other, are seen from above. A chameleon that has had nothing to eat or drink for months is fed by spoon; he drinks eagerly, and as much as he can. The shedding of the skin is demonstrated by removing pieces of skin using tweezers. - The Indian cobra is extremely poisonous, and more dangerous than the tiger; cobra bites kill 20,000 people annually. We see several images of a snake extending and biting.
