    Can my Boa shed to many times to soon
    Hi everyone, my boa concerns me a little and this is why:

    I bought him on January 27 and the seller told me that is last shed was the week before. (So around January 20)

    Then on February 6 he shed again and today February 17 his eyes are milky so he`s going to shed again soon.

    So this is like 3 shed not even in 1 month :O

    He`s 1 ½ year old and 2000g and eat 1 medium rat every 10 days.

    So what do you guys think about this.

    Multiple repeated sheds usually means there's something wrong. It could be many things: mites, mild scale rot/irritation, husbandry errors, etc. You need to find out what the problem is and fix it. Is he soaking a lot?

    Yeah, multiple sheds back to back like that are usually a very clean sign something is wrong.
