My most extreme examples of shed frequency just recently happened. I have a female lesser that was delivered to me on the 4th of April @ 210 grams. She shed on the 11th of Aug & again on the 29th. She was 785 grams on the 29th right after shedding and defecation. One thing worth noting after shedding and defecating on the 11th she was was 671 grams. She took a 86 gram medium rat on the 14th. I meant to feed her a small rat and placed a medium rat meant for an adult in her tub. That single meal could have induced her to shed a 2nd time. Atleast I have heard of this happening with other species.
I also have a HRA I purchased at a show on 25th of Jul @ 270 grams. She's a late 09 hatched girl and presently my most aggressive feeder. She shed on the 11th of Aug 10 it was her first shed for me. She just shed out again yesterday 1 Sept 10. After shedding and defecating yesterday she was 515 grams. She took a 52 gram small rat on the 14th its been her largest meal so far.
