    Shedding Question

    I've had my young ball python for about a month now and she hasn't shown any signs shedding. She is an excellent eater she eats one medium mouse a week and she looks like she's getting bigger. If there is something wrong what should I do?

    What is her current weight? I wouldn't worry, she will shed when she is ready :-)

    Doubt there's anything wrong.

    Is she gaining weight? Do you know when she last shed?
    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

    Don't worry, it will shed when it needs to. Some just might take longer than others in between sheds. Just make sure your temps and humidity are up to par.
