I reckon it's skin...but after you read Phallic Friday, you'll know why I can't really go back to the guy and ask more questions!!<br /><br />Cate xoCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322007107036171737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289867951399005412.post-57971814398946962542015-10-21T23:49:43.884+11:002015-10-21T23:49:43.884+11:00It's a great photo, and my guess would have be...It's a great photo, and my guess would have been shedding skin, same as yours.

It is a diamond Python :) so I was happy. But he wasn't sure what was on its head as he said snakes shed their skin from the head backwards, which should mean that they'd never get the skin stuck on their head. So, now I've no dea what's on its head.<br /><br />And he also told me that snakes (all reptiles really) shed their skin about every month. If the animal is healthy they shed better than if they're stressed with an intact skin shed from a very healthy animal. <br /><br />I love visiting zoos.<br /><br />Cate xoCate Ellinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485246061618081743noreply@blogger.com
