    Re: NOt shedding

    Yes it sounds like your power feeding , but honestly if your doing it the correct way which it seems you are then there absolutley nothing wrong with it .

    countless breeders like myself (even the big boys ) tend to feed heavier for faster addition of weight on their females .

    as long as your not forcing her to eat it shes fine, if she dont want the food she simply wont eat it .
    as for the sheeding problem . even though you have a power feeding routine in motion ,
    the older a snake gets the longer it takes to do a shed .
    remember shedding is a process of growth and at a certain age it starts to slow down cause the snakes growth rate slows down ,
    yes she will put on weight but weight doesnt mean growing .
    a 3 ft ball will prolly shed every other month , some still do shed every month but theres alot that dont .


    dont stress to much on it when shes ready she will shed . and
    again if your power feeding for extra weight its fine as long as your doing it with some common sense .

    I love it when people tell me, "You should think before you speak!" I'm like, "I did. It's what I think and I really don't give a crap what other people think."
