hi, i have a female corn 3 years,almost 4ft and weighing 370g
i was just wondering if anyone might have any suggestions as to why she shed twice in just over a month
6/1/13 and 11/2/13 her previous shed was on 17/10/12 she usually goes about 3-4 months between shedding. thanks lisa

It could be related to breeding. Female snakes shed before they're ready to breed, before they lay and after they lay! That's a lot of shedding. |

Right exact measurements are about 40 inches and weight is up to 400g

cool thanks just wondering lol,i checked my other snakes records and noticed my big male is doing the same thing shed on the 17/1/13 and is just coming out of blue now.(no mites or health issues) Could it have something to do with breeding as i am trying to breed this pair this year??? |

As long as there are no other health issues or mites then it's nothing to worry about. It could possibly just be a bit of extra weight going on. They will shed when they need it. I have an adult MBK that shed 3 times in 2 months last year. 
How are you measuring the length? Are you measuring the shed skin?
To me, 370 grams seems a bit light for a 4' Corn. |
