Snake gets trapped in an endless loop of its own skin after shedding

Visitors to the Reptile Centre asked us about the snake shedding its skin and this is what was happening. It's a Stimson's Python and has managed to shed completely within itself with its tail finishing inside its 'sloughed mouth'! So the Stimmy now fully sloughed is just going round and round inside its sloughed skin! It actually looks like a steering wheel. Have been in the reptile business a long time and have never seen anything quite like it. Have seen similar but nothing as perfect as this. By the way he has now busted through!
