how often do they shed?

[MikeG]

Hey everyone!

So ive had my BP since about march 5th, he has been eating GREAT, never misses a meal. (feed mouse bout every 6 days)
Hes about 8-9months old and hasn't shed yet for me. I though i read somewhere that when there young they shed something like every 2 weeks

and since im super paranoid about everything when it comes him i though id just make sure nothing was wrong.


Thanks for any input!

The closest together sheds I have seen for my babies was 3 weeks. And the longest was 3 months. It really just varies.

There is no "set" date for them to shed. They are constantly growing prior to shed, and the reason they shed is they've grown to large for their current skin so they shed, another reason they shed is if they have a good bit of damage to the current skin. I wouldn't worry about it.
