Hello,

This is my first post in this forum.

I think my adult mal 2011 pastel het clown ball python is shedding too often.

He lives in a rack system with 90°F on the hot and 79°F on the cool side. In the night the hot side goes down to 84 °F. The humidity is being kept at 55% and increased with spraying when he is in shed. He is alway shedding in one piece and otherwise doing great. I got him in April and he ate 2 120g rats the week after I got him and the week after that. Them he however fastened for 6 months. Now he has a ravenous appetite again. However I noticed that he is shedding more and more frequently. The sheddings in my care were on:

08/13/2014
10/15/2014
12/07/2014

Now he is again starting to become blue.

His weight was 1700g at a length of 4,5 ft when I got him and fell as low as 1650g during his fasting. Now he is at 1850g.

Is his shedding intervall normal for an adult ball python or could this be a sign of some internal problems?
