    Shedding
    I got my snake a lil over a month ago from Adam and he was just going to start shedding. Last night I came home and I see skin all over the terrarium and he is in shed again. Is this usual or something to check into more with a vet? I know my temps and humitity are correct so I know that's not an issue.

    Hey Bro,

    Haven't gotten to my emails yet today, so if you sent me one on this I'll respond there as well.

    Sometimes shipping and/or a new environment can screw with shed cycles ... stress, new feeding schedule/routine, new environment, etc all play an important role in how often a snake may shed.

    I would expect that after this second shed, he'll slow down a little bit and you'll see him go a little longer between sheds.

    Keep me posted on how he does and please don't hesitate to give me a ring on my cell phone with any questions ... 301-922-4959.

    Thanks.

    Mods can you delete this thread? I talked to Adam about the issue and he said it was normal so I am rest assured.

    I would not delete it. There may be other people with the same issue and if this can help them then by all means keep it.
