They shed their skin to grow. Unlike humans, who's skin is continuously renewed, reptile skin doesn't stretch as they grow. Therefore - periodically, then shed the old skin after forming a new one underneath.
Anacondas reduce their body size through a process called shedding, or ecdysis, where they periodically shed their skin to remove old, damaged layers and accommodate growth. They also may experience temporary size reduction after digestion, as their bodies can shrink slightly after consuming large prey. Additionally, environmental factors such as temperature and hydration can influence their physical condition and overall size.
they shed there skin in winter summer and spring
No. Anacondas are among the largest snakes in the world.

African dwarf frogs do shed their skin regularly as a natural part of their growth process. This shedding helps them maintain healthy skin and allows for proper growth. It is normal for them to shed and should not be a cause for concern.

Geckos shed old skin because it get old and dry and so they can grow bigger, we shed our skin to it takes a whole year to shed the whole of it but we do shed too :)
No, eels do not shed their skin like snakes. Eels have a slimy mucus layer on their skin that helps protect them from parasites and bacteria, but they do not shed their skin. Instead, their skin grows with their body and they may appear darker or lighter depending on their environment.
As snakes grow the skin doesn't grow with them, so they shed the skin because it no longer "fits" them. By shedding the skin they can get larger, and grow.
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.
