    When can I expect my ball python to shed again?

    I just got my first ball python. He's 3 or 4 months old and is eating an adult f/t mouse every 6-7 days. He shed around Christmas, right before I got him, so I haven't dealt with a shed yet. I was just curious given his age and his last shed when, approximately, I could expect to see symptoms of the next shed?

    Probably the end of month maybe early February. They will shed when they are ready. Just watch for the signs. And leave the little guy alone till you see him come out on his own

    He will shed when he needs to. It is really hard if not impossible to time their sheds. I have snakes take months to go into shed and I recently had one shed twice in a month! Just keep and eye out for the signs of shed.
    The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
