| Id think so, Best thing to do is keep a record of each time the shed (start and finish) then you learn what is 'normal' for them. They all vary so normal for 1 is not for another x Gemma |

very good point ourhouse 
at approx 6 weeks between sheds i'm guessing you've got a youngster growing normally? |

why thank you GP, I used to keep a record of all sort with my snakes in the past (spreadsheets are my friends lol) I record feeding times, shed details and dates (from cloudy eyes through to finish), weight every week before feeding, when ive done a deep clean and temp checks daily (just in case lol)
OMG that sounds like i have far to much time on my hands |

| not sure how old he is i got him from a friend who got him from someone else. we measured his skin after he shed and it was about 5 1/2 foot. not really measured him tho. i'll find out how often he shed with her. |

| a 5ft corn then? i'd say a growth spurt then, did you get a feeding record with him when you bought him? are you feeding him more frequently or larger meals? |

| i still wouldn't be overly concerned, give it a while and see if a pattern develops ie. if a 6 week shed cycle is normal for him |

| Hes perfectly normal.. i lift him everyday and check his scales etc... he doesnt appear to be ill or anything, no injurys or nothin. His eyes appeared cloudy.ish today.. or maybe it was the way the sun was reflecting or the angle i looked at him |
