How often do young BP's shed? - correction

That does sound small for a 5 month old BP, has she gotten any bigger since you've had her? Something doesn't sound right if you can still see a lump from a hopper for a snake that age. Sophie is approximately 7 mos. old and is eating small rats....maybe a trip to the vet is in order?

Younge snakes shed alot more then every 4-6 months. It would be more like every 4-6 weeks.
