Here are my new babies

This is my new Suriname. She is about 4ft long and about to shed. From the pics you cant see it but the last centimeter of her tail there was some stuck shed which drastically shrunk the tip. i got about 4 or 5 layers of skin off. Will it ever fill out again??








And heres my baby 100% het male Columbian. His name is Stud

Once the tail is constricted due to retained sheds, it might always look funny. It's quite common... good that you got all the stuck sheds off, so that the end of the tail doesn't actually die.

That's one thing I check every one of my snakes for after each shed - the very tip of the tail, and eyecaps. It's more important to check when they are smaller/younger, since older snakes tend to shed more easily (their sheds are thicker and seem to be more likely to come off in one piece at the tail) and most of their growing is done.

Stuck sheds in most other areas can be easily addressed, but the eyecaps and tail tips can build up badly if several bad sheds happen in a row and it's not caught.
