I have two royals and checked on them today and they have both come into shed at the same time, i.e. today. So just curious really if other people notice if there snakes tend to shed at around the same time??

I woke up on Monday to find three of my snakes (different species, different ages) had all shed overnight.

A lot of my snakes go into shed at the same time. A bit like women who live together having simultaneous menstrual cycles?

Works with spiders too, when one sheds at work you are sure to find more at it at the same time.

no idea if any one can prove it through scientific research but my two corns shed together, my two royals do although the youngerster follows the lead of the older plus her own shed inbetween times, the kin snake listens to no one ans sheds when he feels like it and my capret python sheds with the bull snakes.

Interesting that pre shed snakes are moody and grumpy too...
