Do any of you guys keep your snakes sheds and hang them outside of the enclosure. I like to see the perfect shed and even one time i had a circular shed peice becuse she went in circles shedding!

In the beginning I kept them but now it seems like I get a shed from someone every week. Not even my kids want them anymore. With the perfect sheds we usually give them to one of the kids school classes.

I used to also. Actually I have an 8ft piece here at work from my buddies jungle x diamond carpet. I stuffed it with packing peanuts and it's sitting on top of the cabinet at my desk. It was great when i first brought it in because my co worker hates them lol.. he's cool with it now though

I keep my perfect sheds and take them to work to hang on my office wall. I replace them each time with a newer bigger one when I get it. People always love to see just how big they are(and be grossed out about it), especially since I don't stretch them out much when waiting for them to completely dry, they are usually only a few inches off from the true size of my snakes.

I have around 8 of them... I don't keep many but if they are really good sheds and my old one is getting trashy I replace it.

I don't think they are trophies per se but I really like to show them off they hang above my wall. I have saved two in the last month actually. My first shed from my baby albino corn (whch is the lowest on the wall, around 10 1/2 or 11 inches) all the way up to an almost 9 foot one from my biggest boa. Most the others are from my "first boa" and tracks her from around 2 foot when I got her up to around 6 1/2 she is now.

All 4 of my new pythons are in shed now and I'm hoping they come out flawless so I can add them to the collection; this will be their first shed too (with me, that is).

I don't go overboard but I'll definitly keep a few here and there.

I don't. My snakes tend to leave "presents" in their sheds. If I ever manage to get a perfect and clean one I might pin one or two to the wall in my herp room.
