    How often do juvenile BPs shed?

    I have had mine for two weeks and the only thing missing from his take home chart is his sheds. Can I safely anticipate him shedding sometime in the next four weeks? He is six months old.

    Pic because why not.

    It's quite variable...depends on how much they eat & how warm they are (ability to digest)...many hatchling/neonate snakes shed about once a month, but
    it can be longer between sheds. Nothing to worry about.

    Depends on when he shed last. Mine are always right around the 6 week mark

    I had my ball python for already 3 weeks and there was no sign of a shed coming. One day out of the blue on a Saturday morning I reached in to pull it out and his eyes were completely gray (or is that color blue?) So took mine almost a month under my care to shed.
