Hi everyone, so today I got Trevor out to feed him as usual, and to my suprise he's in blue! The reason it's a suprise is because he only shed last month, usually he sheds at least every 8 weeks or so, sometimes longer. He's about 20 months old, he hasn't had any injuries or scale damage or anything like that to make him shed more frequently. So I'm just assuming he's having a bit of a growth spurt Is it normal for them to have growth spurts every so often?

Thanks

Yay, thanks for the replies He has moved to mediums fairly recently so it would make sense. My little one is growing up I feel like a proud mum lol

As the others have said, Alice, it is totally normal for young snakes to put on a growth spurt, especially if you've recently moved Trevor up a food size. It shows how well he's doing....and how well you're doing .

Nothing to worry about.

I think it is, especially in spring... my Little T ( same age as yours ) has done exactly the same with his last shed, and he's blue again ( this time because of scale damage in several places, from constant roaming ).
