Shedding?
I have had mojo for about 4 motnhs now or so and he has nto shed at all. Shedding is one area I am slightly sore on for knowledge. Is this normal? He did hurt himself recently so I figured mabye the stress of the injury would hurt him? Tell me ya ideas and such as any information is helpful. thanks

Re: Shedding?
How old is he, I believe adults only shed a few times a year (which would be roughly every 4 months). If he is still very young maybe someone else can shed some light on the topic.

He is nto even a year old. Last time I had him weighed which was about 2 weeks ago he was 78 grams so nto that old at all.

Re: Shedding?
I think, but I may be wrong. Snakes only shed their skin once they have out grow it. How many meals has the snake had? Any refusal? Feeding every week the BP should probably over a 100g. Who did you get the mojo from? Parasites maybe?

Re: Shedding?
He's over 4 months old and only 78g? What are you feeding him and how often? Have you had a fecal test done by your vet to rule out internal parasites?

Re: Shedding?
I would think he is not getting fed enough. They shed as they grow and at 4 months he should be well over a 100 grams. You should be feeding him a mouse hopper or rat pink every 5-7 days. What are your temps and whats he eating?

Re: Shedding?
I am feeding him a hopper a week or two pinkies laterly as he was hurt so I figured smaller better for him till he heals. This week should be the last week of that however. He has never refused to eat and is actually a pretty good eater. I took him to a vet already in the past to rule out mites or anything. They did not do a fecal smear but said he looked in good health and such. My temps and humidity are right on mark in his tank. Took me awhile to get ti right in glass but I got it down pretty well.

Snakes hide illness pretty well. He may look in good health but could still have parasites.
Pinkies are way to small even at 2 a week. Either try upping it to 2 fuzzies or 1 hopper. Hatchling BP's can eat hoppers or even small adults without a problem.
