    It varies from snake to snake as i have found. It depends on the snakes metabalism and growth rate.

    They shed when they have outgrown the skin they're in.

    If they have a fast metabolism then they don't gain as much weight as fast.
    So yeah, it makes sense I suppose.

    If they're eating properly, it's usually ever 4-6 weeks. Sometimes its every 2 months. I wouldn't worry about it, it'll surprise you.
