Has got to be the removing of the damp and soggy shed skin from the viv after they've shed- it feels awful

IIRC, the kind of balloon that you don't get at kids' parties.

I can live with the shed it's the constant worry of trying to keep up the temps and humidity within limits for me.

I think it's something you get used to. Since we have a lot of amphibians now it's not unusual for us to be spraying tanks a lot- although I understand how much more difficult they are to maintain than other snakes. Just think we don't notice it anymore

i must be quite lucky then, as my brb tends to shed around a branch all the time which is elevated off the ground so my sheds are never disgustingly wet, just slightly damp due to air moisture :D
