    Shedding again?!

    Hey, I've got a quick question. Monty shed about 2 weeks ago, a little before that. Should he be shedding again??? cause he is!

    He's very grayed out and his eyes are very cloudy and greyish/almost white, so im almost positive this is what it is. I got him 2 weeks ago, and when i picked him up from the previous owner, she said that he had just shed like 2 days previously. Do they shed this often?? or is it just because he is not done growing since he's not that old? hes approx. 30 inches, so I'm not sure how old that might be (my first snake!)

    Thanks!

    Yes it's possible. It could be a result of an increased rate of growth. Have you had Monty checked by a vet?

    Not yet, I know I should have already, but money has been a little tight, with having to get all his supplies in order. I'll be taking him soon, though.

    Could this be a sign of something wrong with him? or is this more of a good sign? i mean, wouldnt an increased rate of growth mean he's healthy rather than possibly sick?

    One other thing...about how old would a healthy bp be at approx. 30 inches?
