    Shedding Question

    Hey I am trying to figure out if after having a snake for about 6 weeks if him not shedding yet is an issue? He seems fine otherwise.

    Re: Shedding Question

    What age is your snake? More than likely it's not an issue. They shed when they're ready, and there's no set interval. Age, feeding schedule, and individual genetics can influence the frequency they shed.

    I would say that an average shedding would be every 6 weeks. If you are confident that you snake is eating an adequate amount, and is parasite free then I wouldn't worry.
