Ball python is not shedding
I am new to owning reptiles and this ball python happens to be my first reptile pet. I purchased this hatchling a month ago and the pet store said it was at the store for two weeks before I purchased her. She has been eating hoppers and has no loss of appetite I feed her every 5-7 days humidity is at 50-60 percent and temp on hot side is 90 cool side is 75-80 the snake is showing no signs of shedding. I have been reading and doing research and from what I understand she should be shedding every 5-6 weeks. Should I be concerned?
Re: Ball python is not shedding
They she'd if they grow and they grow if they are fed approprietely.
Hoppers is the food generally used out of the egg, in no time the animal graduates to a larger prey.
Now the question is how big is this hatchling and is the prey offered still appropriate compare to its size
