Lizards Many species of lizards  also shed their skin regularly. The process is similar to  that of snakes, where they shed their skin in patches or larger pieces as they grow.

Frogs Amphibians like frogs and toads undergo a process called skin sloughing. They do not shed their skin all at once like reptiles, but their old skin peels off in small pieces.

Arachnids Tarantulas and other spiders, as well as scorpions, molt their exoskeletons as they grow. This process helps them accommodate their increasing size.

Insects Insects undergo metamorphosis, which involves shedding their exoskeletons at various stages of their life cycle. Examples include butterflies, ants, and grasshoppers.

Crustaceans Crabs, lobsters, and other crustaceans shed their exoskeletons as they grow, a process known as molting. They produce a new, larger exoskeleton to replace the old one.

Reptiles Aside from snakes and lizards, some other reptiles like turtles and tortoises also shed their skin. However, their skin shedding is not as noticeable as in snakes and lizards.

Fish Certain species of fish, such as catfish and eels, undergo skin shedding as they grow. Their old scales or skin layers are sloughed off to make way for new growth.

Snakes Snakes are perhaps the most well-known animals for shedding their skin. They shed their old skin in a process called ecdysis to accommodate their growing bodies. Snakes usually shed their skin in one piece.
