I never cease to be amazed at nature!

How long is the skin, compared to the snake? From what I read, a shed skin may be up to twice the length of the snake. From the video frames, I'd estimate it as maybe 1.5 times as long?

Sounds about right.

It's kinda hard to tell, as measuring the snake is tricky.

So cool!

Awesome!

I have this idea that's kinda the opposite of that - a sensible way for looking inside people and such. Meaning a tube that can roll into itself. So instead of something that rubs against the side of wherever you're pushing it, it just rolls out from inside of itself. No chafing could occur!

Umm - ask me more if that makes no sense... :)
