How often do BP's normally shed?
My 2-ish year-old girl shed in early March, and now she seems to be going into blue again. Do BP's normally shed so often, or do you think she's just hit a growth spurt? I'm not worried, I just thought snakes would shed maybe every couple months at most.
And I've been having a heck of a time trying to get her to eat the past 3 weeks, could this be a reason? She grabbed the last mouse I gave her and started eating it, but as soon as we took our eyes off her, she spit it out.

I think they shed at different rates, just like they all grow at different rates. If you feed her a lot and she's growing fast she will shed more often, and the opposite if she is eating smaller meals and growing slower.

Most of my snakes shed about once a month... sometimes it's three weeks, sometimes 5 or more. But USUALLY once a month. 
The only one that doesn't is a 16 year old kingsnake I have that sheds every 2 or 3 months, sometimes longer. I reckon he isn't growing much anymore.
