    Shedding?

    I've had Marshall for nearly 2 1/2 weeks now. How often should he be shedding? He's about a month old.

    When young, about once/month is average.

    Depends on the snake and if you are still feeding undersized meals.
    Some of my good eaters will shed every couple weeks for a the first few months.
    Its all about how much they are gaining weight.

    I don't feel that they are undersized. They are the thickness of the thickest part of his body, I also am going to give him a bigger sized mouse next feeding.
