Hello,

I need some advise for Lucy please. She's Four years old and just over four foot.

About 5 months ago she had a real job shedding. She started to show all the normal signs,... and then nothing. Not a thing, until a few weeks later she starting showing all the sign agains, this time resulting in a shed. Bearing mind it has been about 4 months since her last one.

Since May now, shes been shedding around every 3 weeks. This is really unlike her, and we can't understand why it's happening. We've owned her 18months, and this is not normal for her? Her diet has stayed consistant, although, she is missing feeds while she's shedding, which is annoying, as we hate she may not be getting enough food.
She seems really happy in herself, no aggresion, no loss of appitite or any other concerns.
Would be great if i could get some advise, or just to be told someone else's snake has done this. :s

Thanks! x

Yeah, the only time I've come across mine multiple shedding, is when he caught a scale, and shed every week and a half until it was fixed.

Is there any chance she has hurt herself somehow? Maybe damaged some scales?
