Hey guys, to keep it short my snake last shed Feb 7th, so its been almost 4 months since her last shed, she is approx 1 year and 10 months old, feeds well once a week but no shedding. getting to the point where i am worrying slightly and her last shed took just over 2 months.
Any advice or thoughts would be welcome. Thanks :) |

| 1 fuzzy a feed at nearly 2 years is a tiiiny amount to be feeding. She's probably not shedding so frequently because she's not being given enough food to grow enough in order to shed. My three 1 year 10 months are all on medium mice. Move her up to double pinks until they're all gone and then start giving her smalls, you'll notice she'll start growing a lot quicker :) |
