    Hatchling ball python hasn't shed yet after about two weeks.
    Hi all, I have two ball python hatchlings that have yet to have their first shed and it's been almost two weeks since they hatched. The rest of their clutch mates have shed, no problems. Any idea what might be going on here?

    - Thanks

    Are they even going blue?

    Some babies take longer than others. Are they also smaller or different at all, or just weird and taking longer?

    I wouldn't worry too much, personally, but maybe start offering them food at the same time you offer the rest food. I've had babies take as long as a week after the rest to shed - not sure if that's the case for you, but it does happen.

    Ok, thanks for the response. Guess I'll just have to wait and see!
