    Shedding frequency?
    I have an o7 female lavender corn that is shedding much more than I wonder if she should be. Her last 3 sheds have been 6/2, 7/23/ and today 8/12. Is this to close together? She is eating well, a weaned rat every 7 days. She seems healthy, no visible skin problems or mites.
    Should I be concerned?

    Sounds normal. My 5 year old male corn sheds oddly close together at times too. He eats once a week also. He seems to shed more during the spring-fall. Winter comes and he doesn't shed but maybe once or twice. He's shed 4 times already since May and is in shed atm.

    Thank you, I was concerned!! I am hoping she will be up to weight to breed by next spring. She isn't quite 3 feet long yet but getting really close, and I haven't weighed her so I'm not sure how much she weighs but she is growing for sure!

    Yea it doesn't sound like anything. Just sounds like a snake being a snake. I've seen to where like lillyorchid said, they go a bit without shedding then they will have close shed dates, then sometimes they go more regular, then don't shed for awhile.
