    When will she shed ?
    Good day friends :)
    Guys n Gals, my BP has been in my house for 8 weeks now, she shed on the 2nd week, and haven't shed until now (6 weeks), is it normal for her ?
    Her enclosure is at 29 celcius night-32 celcius day, with 50-60% humidity.
    I feed her 15 grams of mice every 5-6 days.
    Her empty weight now is 170 grams.
    the reason i ask this is because I've read somewhere that a snake is NORMALLY shed once a month, while mine has been 1,5 weeks without showing any sign of it :confused:
    what are the conditions for the snake to be routinely shed its skin ?
    Regards
    Jane

    They shed when they need to. Usually they shed once a month, just because she hasn't shed yet doesn't mean anything is wrong with her.

    With age, the time between sheds gets greater and greater. A year old snake sheds once every few months.

    Don't worry about it :)
