Guys this one has got me wondering...Well I have had amber now since the 15/9/10 and have kept a feeding and shedding record up to her last shed which was on the 25/9/10. Thing is that was a long time ago and my other snake Syd who is 4 years old, has had three sheds in that time. my question is should I be concerned?? she is eating well on two pinkies, so I cant understand why she has only shed once in over 9 weeks.
Thanks in advance |

I feed younger snakes every 5 days to get the weight on them I have found that young snakes dont gain weight very well fed once a week but thats just my oppinion |

She will do it when she needs to, it takes lots of energy so they only do it when they need to. |

She does seem to be ready for the next step up in food, I plan now to use the remainder of pinkies in 2's each feed, every 7 days, and then move up to fuzzies. I hope she will be ready to shed in a week or so. Thanks for the advice :) |

Nothing to worry about, they shed when they are ready as they grow, has she grown much in the time without a shed? My Spot is 5 months and on fuzzys now, are you sure she is getting the right food size/amount etc. 1.5 times the size of the thickest part of the snake. Do the pinkies leave any lumps at all? |

she is just 6 months old now, don't know her weight to be honest but she is most certainly not underweight I don't think. |
