Snakes periodically shed their entire skin in a process called molting or ecdysis. This process allows them to remove old, worn-out skin, grow, and eliminate parasites. Typically, a snake will shed its skin several times a year, depending on factors like age, health, and environmental conditions. After shedding, the new skin underneath is often brighter and more vibrant.
