Hi there, My 4 year old 5 foot 10 male cornsnake, keeps shedding every 2 weeks or so, i've had him about 18 months and he's always fed and shed really well, the last few months he's not eaten and been shedding every couple of weeks! The recent sheds have been a bit 'bitty' but between us (me and him) we have managed to get them all off including eyecaps. he is being kept as he always has been kept so i am puzzled as to why this has suddenly happened. Also he was a friendly boy who was more than happy to be out being handled, recently he doesn't seem so up for it. No aggression, he's NEVER been aggressive to anyone. I am VERY fond of him and therefore more than a little concerned. Any ideas why this could be happening?? Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

could he have sustained a little injury? things like cuts and scrapes often account for repeated shedding
