    how often are sheds?

    So i got my snake a month now. The previous owner fed her two hopper once a week, so i increased to adult mouse and now she looks fuller. But hasnt shed yet. Is this okay?She already had a total of 5 feedings since 9/10.2010.

    yah she's is now on that. I feed her adult mice but hoping to get her to a good size for small rats. She is now 220 i think compared to 160 when i got her.
