adult male shed twice in 3 weeks
a friend of mine recently rescued a male adult that had a burn that was almost healed.i recommended him to put it on paper and gave him some Vetark Tamodine Wound Cleanser to treat the wound.it shed a week after having it and it was almost gone so he stoped using the treatment.he phoned me last night saying its eyes were blue again so i asked about his husbandry and everything is perfect,92 warm end 80 cool end and 60%humidity.there are no sign of mites or anything and he says the eye caps were in the shed.its a good size male at around 1300g so even with the wound it surprised me that it shed 2 weeks later.it seems healthy and has took 2 feeds.is it just healing or is there anything else to worry about?

Ive had snakes do this before as well but not that often. Its probably because its healing itself and its probably getting better care so its growing fast I dont think its anything to worry about

What they said - shedding is part of the healing process. :)
