Shedding and age.

[MontyAndMelissa]

Can you judge a snakes age (give or take) by how often they shed?

Monty shed last on February 2nd, and today I noticed her eyes turning blue. I'm just curious. I know younger snakes shed more often, and she isn't gaining an unhealthy amount of weight. She is healthy and happy (as far as I know.)

I got this really cool picture so I had to share.

No, because snakes shed because they're either gaining or loosing weight. Has nothing to do with age. Ofcorse they shed more when they're smaller because they're growing a lot faster than adults.

For example, I bought a Pastave het. Pied girl and a Bee boy a year ago at the same time. Both of them weighed around the same weight which was about 120g. Now, the Pastave is 1100g while the Bee is 550. My Pastave shed a lot more than my Bee but they're pretty much around the same age.
