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

What is the process when a snake remove it skin?

The common name is shedding, or sloughing. The technical term is ecdysis. Basically, when a snake 'outgrows' its skin, it secretes a fluid (mainly composed of vitamin A) between the current layer, and a new layer of skin underneath. This is what turns the snakes eyes a milky blue-white. After a few days, the snake breaks the skin (usually at the mouth) and crawls out of it - turning the skin inside-out in the process.
