Artist's Comments

Well in the temple of serpent
in the dragon box
a red glass
can shed its skin
at night
there is nothing within
what appears to be a pendant
is really a spell
where the serpent goes
no priest can tell
but come the morning
the box is full
and from the night before
has laid within
yet another shed skin.

~Sarah M. Faver

More images of time and mortality. Just as I was trying to provoke thoughts with Shaza and the blue egg, I am now using his shed skin as a regeneration, a continuation and this concept of a glass snake in a hexagonal box that [link] made for me.

It is the skin I saved from Shaza's first shed with me.

I wonder how snakes feel about their shed skins...

I know that they really want to get them off when the time comes, they don't hesitate. It is very uncomfortable for them to have a skin that's too small on, it can do a lot of damage as well, even just little patches left on.

I think it's one of those "GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF!" rather than "Oh... my skin... :(..."

I have to sometimes, by giving him a bath. I am not sure he is such a fan :P

They do for drinking and the occasional warm bath, but normally by choice ;)

He's still a baby, so still a bit skiddish sometimes.

Somethings that I expect to cause him alarm do not and other times I think he'll be totally chill and he'll try to hide. Who knows?

The deep red on the fresh skin really brings the beauty of the sane out :)
