The details in nature are amazingly beautiful!

Snakes and other animals shed a layer of skin in one continuous piece, a process called ecdysis, which occurs between four and 12 times a year. Why? Two reasons. First, while the snake’s body continues to grow, its skin does not. A roomier skin layer is generated, and the old layer is discarded. Secondly, shedding, or sloughing of the skin, removes harmful parasites. Humans “shed” millions of skin cells every day, snakes and other animals like arthropods shed a layer of skin in one continuous piece. (Iowa Department of Natural Resources)
My wife worked as a Golf Caddy in a Golf Club in Japan and used to find many of this all the time.

Very cool

(Don't be mad, friends....but these are NOT snake ''skins.'' If the snake literally shed its skin...it would be bare muscle. This is a SHED. Now...you learned something.)

And so we also shed our skins periodically become a changed person. If only we could be aware when this happens. We are dynamic beings. So in relationships we need to be aware of our partner's evolution and give it room. Life is really a dance.

Very cool

I know many people are afraid of snakes, but they are just as scared of us. Snakes are such an important part of our ecosystem.

I would run off in fear, just in case the owner of the skin came back to claim it...

Quite the adventure ,not many women would do what you did,so happy your outdoor life has made you at ease with mother nature and all her creations

only time that frightened me was when one was found in our house

I once cut open a bathroom wall and found a snakeskin between the joists next to the insulation. That was a little creepy
