I've had to move my BP twice to temporarily stay elsewhere (about a 1 hr drive away) and one thing I noticed was that every time I move to a new environment (or return to an old one) with my BP, he will go into shed within ~1-2 weeks of moving, even if it's only been 2 months since his last shed when he typically sheds every 3 months.

When I first brought my BP home from the breeder he also went into shed within 2 weeks. I think I'm seeing a pattern now so I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed anything similar? I've heard stories about people finding snakes that were shipped to them in shed, or even mid-shed when they are removed from the box! I wonder if something about the process of moving or the stress involved triggers the snakes to go into shed.

Other than the shedding, my BP behaves normally during these moves - he never refuses a meal and continues to hide in the day and come out to roam at night. The sheds are also nice, complete sheds that are all in one piece.
