    Shedding again?

    My 5-6 month ball went into shed less then 6 weeks ago and is in shed again. The little bugger seems to be hungry only before he sheds. when I got him he refused his food until he was about to shed and this week he ate for me but is in shed again. How often should he be shedding?
    Too many pets to list!

    They shed as often as they need to. Young snakes are growing at a fast rate and as a result need to shed more. This will slow down as they age.

    Yea, everythings normal, they shed as they need to. I had a baby snake shed once a month on me, after 3 times, it slowed down to once every 2-3 months.
