I've never seen one of my snakes begin a shed. All I had was the little pocket Olympus, which meant I had to get close during what is a cranky time for most snakes. Green Tree Pythons are notorious biters, but GloWorm is such a good, patient boy. He does look a little annoyed, but this is supremely tolerant behavior for a young snake.
Doesn't the old skin look like he's growing a beard?

this is a truly magnificent photo. it could win a competition. wow, what a moment, so rarely do we 'catch' that exact moment in time.
I really love this picture-it captures the silly side of GloWorm, which people don't usually get to see.

I bet the poor boy is itchy. No wonder he is a little cranky. Gorgeous animal.
He looks like he's smirking! So cool.
Is this his impression of a hooded cobra?
Thanks for giving us the skin-y on your snake.
my dear debra kay, magnificent photo or not, you KNOW i can't comment on this... :)
(gulp)

He's all shedded out and happy now! I would be happy too. Of course, happiness is relative=it means he sits still on his branch as opposed to itching around and looking cranky while he sheds. For Glo-happiness is warm branch.
