Shed frequency

[Gene Collins]

I scrolled through most of the 13 pages of the sticky post showing the shed process but I couldn't find anything on how often it usually happens. My Clyde just finished his shed Aug 29th and he looks like he might be starting again. Given the haze in his eyes he may be a day or two into it. Craig for sure started his a couple days ago. Clyde has only had 2 meals since his last shed....can he really be growing that quickly?

They both go to the vet tomorrow hahaha gonna be some grumpy boys.

My last shed was the 24th of August. I pulled my 4 month old ball out of her cage today and she has gone blue so I expect in about 5 or so days.

Depends on the snake.
I have some that shed every couple months and a couple girls that will shed every three weeks.

Yeah both my dinker and spider have shed once a month since ive had them, will probably slow down when she gets bigger as she will start growing more slowly.

Snakes are different. My boyfriend's little normal male sheds almost back to back, sometimes with a week or two in between. My biggest female sheds most infrequently, as well as my 2010 mojave male. In general the younger ones shed a lot more

my bp sheds pretty much ones ever 3 to 4 weeks, and my rtb sheds about every 2 months.
