The endometrium is the innermost layer of the uterus. It is the layer that is shed during menstruation.
My Corn Snakes shed about every 3 weeks.
outer layer of skin
Humans shed and regrow outer skin cells about every 27 days.
ALL snakes (and lizards) shed their skin periodically. The general rule is - the younger the reptile - the more frequently they shed. Reptile skin is regenerated all at once - not in tiny flakes like human skin. Thus they have to shed their skin in order to grow.
Snakes shed because there skin does not grow with there body, as human skin grows with the body. Snakes shed more when there young and shed less when there older. Rattlesnakes grow a new layer of there rattle every time they shed, so the older the louder.
One pound
Yes, as they grow they will shed the keratin layer of their scutes in whole sheets.
