    Shedding question

    I've got a six-month old young striped corn, he's been at my house for about 3 months, he eats a small pinkie every 5 days, and he seems healthy. The only problem is that he hasn't shed in these 3 months....

    The temps and humidity should be ok.

    Is this abnormal? or can it be that he shed and ate the skin?


    cheers

    Re: Shedding question

    Hi,

    No they don't eat the skin.

    Have you seen any signs of a shed cycle - the blue eyes and dull looking skin?

    What size is the snake? I fed hatchlings one mouse pink every 5 days so it may be he needs more food to really grow. But pics showing soemthing for size comparison should help answer that.
