BP shed WAY earlier

[OliveSprout]

I don't know if I need to be worried or not but my BP Lafayette shed way earlier than usual, his average shed is between 57 days give or take but he shed just today which is around 20 days earlier, should I be worried? it came all in one piece which is already a good sign but I still want to make sure its nothing serious, I tried to do some research on it but nothing came up :/

No need to worry. They shed when they need to. Did the snake hit a recent growth spurt?

Nothing came up because there is no such a thing as average time lapse between shed, their shed is related to their growth so growth spurt will mean shedding more often, whereas adult will shed a lot less often.

So long your snake does not shed every 2 weeks which could indicate a stress or health issue, you are good to go.

Actually yes, he‘s grown quite a lot these past few months, if thats the case then I guess I shouldn‘t worry thank you so much!
