A Colubridae family snake undergoes ecdysis, the process of shedding its skin, on the wall of an abandoned house in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 19, 2024. The discarded skin reveals intricate details, including banding patterns, markings, scales, and even the remnants of where the snake's eyes once were. Ecdysis, influenced by factors such as species, age, weather, temperature, and health, is a natural part of a snake's growth process. Younger snakes shed more frequently due to their rapid growth, and shedding also commonly occurs before reproduction or after giving birth. The snake initiates shedding by rubbing against a hard surface like a rock or tree.
