    Shed Patterns?

    Does anyone else have a snake or snakes that seem to shed in a pattern / on a precise schedule?

    I ask because since Mashadar crested 1000g his shed schedule is spot on.

    So he goes into blue, I usually notice the pink belly about 3 days before his eyes fog over, then nearly 10 days to a T (from seeing pink belly to complete) he sheds. Following the shed he acts hungry but when offered food has no interest in actually eating, the last three sheds he has fasted for 61,63,62 days post shed before eating again (I offer no matter what every 2 weeks).
    Then he eats 2 - 3 meals, small rats between 55-75 grams usually 15 to 20 days apart (closer to 20 days with rats over 70 grams), then he goes into shed again.

    I don't think anything is wrong health wise, just curious. He seems to gain about 10-20 grams per shed cycle and is keeping a nice slim figure and poo's only after sheds.
    No cage is too large - nature is the best template - a snoot can't be booped too much
