    But either way, there's absolutely nothing you can do about the frequency a snake's body decides to shed; I will say also that a snake that has had some sort of
    injury (& sometimes even an illness) may go into sheds more frequently- it's just how their body responds & tries to repair itself. I don't say that to worry you, just to explain
    that shedding is a normal process, one which goes best with good nutrition & hydration. Also, the younger a snake is, the faster they're growing, which means they
    shed more often. This is a young snake you have, right? Relax...

    I was not panicking too terribly. I just wanted to make sure, I have two young snakes both juvenile, I know shedding is normal but did not know whether it could mean an immune response.

    As my mother would say,

    Better safe, Than sorry.

    I will be going back to watching Regi, rub his shed now lol.


    It is rather weird how such noodles that lay around all day can get someone so attached.
