    Weird feeding/shedding question

    How often do your bp's shed? I feed leo every 7 days a small rat about the size of the thickest part of him. I brought him home January 10th and he shed January 21st.

    He just shed again on April 10th. Am I doing something wrong? He poops once a week and when I weigh him he's definitely getting bigger but it seems like everyone has sheds every 2 weeks.

    I'm not worried, just curious. Any input is appreciated.

    There is no defined time frame, they shed as needed

    Older snakes can shed up to every 6-8 weeks. Monty is every 8 or so weeks right now. Younger snakes shed more often because they're growing.
