    shedding question
    so ive had my BP "gambit" for about 2 months now... for over a month hes been eating like clock work every Sunday night with not 1 issue. his temps and humidity are perfect in the tank but... still no shedding.. not even a bit. i thought they shed once a month? was i wrong?

    There is not set time to how often they will shed. I have a few young ones that will shed every 3 weeks. My older bp's might go months without shedding.

    My normal peek is about the same age and has shed twice in the past 4 month everyother month or so. I would not worry he will shed when he is ready. BTW glad he is eating reguarly for you now :) Got my normal switched to rats finally and the Pied girl is a garbage disposal:)

    Yup, I agree with dragonboy - he'll shed when he needs to. My baby boa is about 8 months old now and she was shedding every 6 weeks like clockwork. But now that fall is here, she went almost 3 months - she just shed yesterday and her last shed was early August! I think they might slow down in the cooler weather. And babies will grow at different rates depending on their growth spurts. Your husbandry sounds good so don't worry!
