Got caught shedding! (video)

So I came home from the grocery store to find one of my corns halfway through his shed. The great thing was that he was right at the front of the tank and in perfect view. I got video of the last third or so. Very cool to watch and below is the link on youtube.

He is a 2010 pewter from John at Colorado Corns so he's a bit over a year old and about 170 grams right now. His name is Odin.

Odin mid shed video.

Sorry for the poor video quality as it was my phone. But there are some pretty good shots of the shed skin peeling back off of him.
 
More fun! After my video I went and ran a couple errands and came back home and I went to pull the shed skin out of his vivarium. Well, the shed skin looked kind of dark and it looked like the tail section had exploded.

Well it just so happened that he started his shed in one of his aspen tunnels but finished outside of it in the front of his tank. He actually went back through his tunnels and back through his shed skin from 15 minutes previously! His head came out of the tail end of his shed! I've never seen that before from any of my corns. Crazy snake.

Pics below of him back inside his shed skin and some more of him completely out of it.

That is so cool! Ive had snakes since 2005 and I still have yet to see any of them shed!

I love that first picture!
 
The pictures are hillarious! The second one looks like he's sticking his tongue out at you like a sassy kid. "Yeah, I'm back in here, whatcha wanna do about it!?"
