Shedding Frequency

[ChrisnJayden]

We have had our BP since Early March, It has shed 4 times since then, usually in bits and pieces but the one today was almost a single piece, The snake is growing rapidly it has grown by about 50% since arrival and has an appetite like a fat kid at a buffet, full size mice (frozen) taken every 5'ish days and I'm thinking of going to small rats soon. I am curious if this frequency of shedding is normal and if it is related more to growth than specific times of the year.

From what I've managed to gather in my short time here, it's all about the growth of the snake, and there isn't really a normal frequency.

I agree it is related to growth younger growing bp's will shed more frequently than an adult.
