Imagine if we as humans had to do this (yes, I know we already lose skin throughout our lives, but I’m talking full-on shedding it like a snake has to). Think of how weird this must feel!

THAT LAST PEELED SKIN, WAS SO SATISFYING.

This is both satisfying and gross at the same time.



The holes give me phobia

[ChromatophoneNature]

Pretty cool but I’d like to hear more about how it actually happens physiologically.

[brownrice]

Omg, my friend looks so beautiful here!😍

It's very tough to shoot such video.
Hatsoff to your work.

I just did a foot peel and my skin is shedding right now after a few days of waiting, but it is flaky! Decided to randomly look up this video since I'm shedding now. I find it interesting how snakes shed their skin in pretty much one whole piece.

The shed skin is always going to be longer than the snake, because the skin covers both the top and bottom of each individual scale.

I don't really know why people call it disgusting?

[Gigi-eiku]

"I am not my past" said the master snake

[aynrandish]

This is so much better than watching a snake shed in a Tupperware container.

[OptimusPhillip]

And so the immortal snake casts off its old body, and is reborn in a new, rejuvenated form.

[AngelicRomance]

This instantly reminded me of the days I used to put Elmer’s glue on my hands and peeling it off after letting it dry 😊

[aminahashimt]

Ohmygod this is satisfying and at the same time it's terrifying

[amarie]

Beware of people who say they've changed. 😂 A snake may change it's skin but it's still a snake

[uniquecharm]

No matter, how good and easy it look to us but for a snake it is the most painful process
