    Perfect shed!!!

    I have been so anxious about my husbandry and making sure that everything is absolutely perfect, and it has finally paid off. Perfect shed from the eyecaps to the tip of the tail. And she has still never refused a meal. I'm so proud of her . Only thing I find strange is that this is the first shed since I got her in February, which I'm pretty sure she was only a month old or less based on her size. But from what I've read she should have had 2-3 sheds by now. Any thoughts?

    Good job! I wouldn't worry about counting the sheds...they all grow at their own pace -so do we. You're assuming she was a month or so old by her size,
    but I have a hunch she was quite a few months older than that, having been only "maintenance-fed" by the breeder so she would stay little & cute & not outgrow
    her caging. Young snakes eat young rodents, & it takes quite a while to really grow...most of that nutrition is being used to maintain, not grow, but as your little
    one catches up, she'll grow more...don't worry.

    Congrats on the perfect shed and also the consistent eating. I wouldn't worry about how many sheds she's done. She will grow at her own pace and shed when she needs to.
