I got a year old corn snake about a month ago and he shed on the 21st of feb, when I went to feed him today he wouldn't let me touch him and he's not moving much, his skin has gone kinda dull so I thought he'd be shedding again but is it normal for him to shed again this quickly? |

It may be a simple case of getting more food and so growing quickly, especially if you got him from a shop where they will sometimes feed minimal amounts. Corno is almost 7 months old and seems to be shedding every 6 weeks ish at the moment. I wouldn't worry - as long as you're not overfeeding lol! |

Young snakes can shed every 6 to 8 weeks, mature snakes as little as twice a year. I'm still waiting for Mirkey to shed for the first time since I got him more than 5 months ago.
They will shed as often as nature decides dpending on their age and growth rate.

Each snake is different. Mine sheds every 50-60 days, but isnt even a year old. Depends how fast they are growing, if they have any damaged scales etc these factors affect how often they shed. I wouldnt worry to much about it shedding. It would shed if it didnt need to. |
