The whole process from start to finish - should take about a week.
When the shedding process begins, the skin will begin to look slightly opaque and some snakes will get pink bellies when beginning the shedding process. Then, the snake will steadily become more and more opaque until the eyes completely clouded over. After a few days, before they shed their eyes will clear back up. Soon after that, they will shed off their old skin. The whole process can take 1-2 weeks, and sometimes longer.
When a snake sheds its skin, you will first see little flakes of it come off, when you see this make the surroundings slightly more humid and give your snake fresh water daily and a place to hide.Then eventually, the snake will rub its skin off on rocks or anything else it can find, then the skin should come off in one whole piece.If not then your snake might not be so healthy...hope this helped XD
The whole process from start to finish usually takes about a week - depending on the age of the snake.
They actually shed they're skin as a whole
No snake would ever get big enough to eat a whole elephant !
Cobras begin their lives as eggs. Once they hatch, they grow very quickly so they get big enough to avoid predators. Their fangs grow to be as long as one-half inch and they are olive, black, or brown, which aids in camouflage.
Snakes shed their skin when they grow. Unlike us the skin does not stretch and grow with the body so they have to get rid of it to grow bigger. Snakes grow their whole lives so they are shedding all the time. That being said as a snake gets older it doesn't grow as much so they don't shed as often
They swallow their prey whole.
Yes, but it depends on the size of the snake
If the snake is big enough it will just unhinge its jaws
