    ? about shedding
    hi all...
    i have had Batista since December of "06...he has shed every month, almost to the day since i had him, except for this month. should i be worried about that? what is the frequency of sheds? Batista is (as of his shed last month) now 33' long. i know they shed less frequently as they get older, but i have no idea of his age.
    Thanks,
    Tammy

    nothing to worry about , snakes shed at diff' times , not always monthly like clockwork.
    growth 'spurts' will mean more shedding ..then a slow down..so more time between sheds . as long as he's healthy and eating well ( be well pleased about that ! ) then dont be worried...some snakes might shed every twelve weeks ...just depends on there metabolism and genes .

    ours used to shed once a month like clockwork too. then they just kinda grew out of it. now it's like a month and a half to two months. they're both just over 3 feet
