This was the morbidly satisfying moment a three and a half metre long Burmese Python shed its skin with the help of a local vet in Chile last Saturday (February 16).<br /><br />The veterinarian lightly grips the body of the python, allowing the dead layer of scales to peel off slowly as it slithers out of its old skin. <br /><br />The vet explained that the snake didn't have enough friction from where it was placed to get rid of the excess skin. <br /><br />The filmer said: "Since it’s on a stand, it doesn’t have enough friction to slither the skin off, so the vet is grabbing the skin, allowing the python to move freely and shed the skin more efficiently."
