Hello, I have had an adult ball python for about three years now. He's around 7 years old, and he usually sheds once every 2.5-3 months. However, I just noticed that he is in blue despite it having not even been two months since his last shed. He doesn't have any injuries that I've noticed, and he's not eating more than usual. When should I be concerned? Can illnesses make snakes shed more? Should I be thinking about getting bloodwork done? Any information on the topic would be helpful.
Also to note, I did make a thread on here right around last time he shed about him soaking frequently. Found insects crawling around his hides. Pretty sure they were not snake mites, as I switched him to paper towels and haven't seen anything on him or the towels since (and they also didn't look like snake mites). Not sure if stress can make snakes shed faster, though I'm not sure why it would? Anyway, just thought I would mention it in case it might be relevant. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/top...ink_source=app
