Do you mean two complete sheds in a week or that the head and tail came off first and then the body came off later?

my snake sometimes sheds in bits, its no big deal as the shed skin of a snake is very fragile and can easily rip. just makesure theres no retained eye caps or shed left on the tail tip as these are serious. but what i do for my snake when he goes into blue is i hve 2 small water bowls down the hot end of the viv to create humidity. as apparantley thats what they need most of all when a shed is due, it seems to work on my snake
