    Shedding?

    Hey y'all, I was curious about how often baby balls shed. I have had both my girls for about three weeks, was curious if I should be expecting a shed or not. How often do babies usually shed?

    It all depends on how often they eat, but usually can expect a shed monthly.

    Yeah, my babies shed about once a month too, closer to every 5-6 week when I feed once a week.

    Depends on the snake, My babies are shedding once about every 3 weeks... But they eat every 4-6 days (Closer to the 4 then the 6). And it has been the time of year for them to grow. Im sure it will slow down during the winter (Or lack of down here in Orlando FL.)

    My adults shed once 4-6 weeks. They eat every 5-6 days.

    So on your question. You should have a shed coming pretty soon. Keep the humidity up, And heat right, And I usually leave them alon for thier shed to avoid stress. Goodluck with your balls...
