It depends on the age of the bp and it's growth rate. If it's younger then it will shed about every 4-6 weeks, but sometimes as often as every 2 weeks (right Jo?). Older bps shed less frequently, like a couple times a year.

Re: Shed?
LOL yep Christie! Our snakes are about 7 months and about 20 months old. The 7 month old did shed once only 2 weeks apart and really surprised me...now she's pretty much settled into every 4 to 6 weeks. The older b.p. was underweight so shed pretty soon after starting to receive appropriate food each week....she's now back in shed again a month later. I'm sure once she's reached her proper weight she'll probably slow down her shed pattern.
