I am wondering how often other people's snakes are shedding?
My little guy is 6 months old and his last shed was the 28th October :/ I have no record of his shedding before I bought him when he was 3 months old.
Everything else is fine and he is growing, I am just concerned over this long wait between sheds :S

There is no point comparing one snake to another. they shed when they need to based on growth rate, and if any damage has been done to their skin. If the snake is eating well, is not looking skinny then your snake is absolutely fine.

As long as he is happy, eating and healthy I wouldn't worry too much. He'll shed when he needs to.

My 5 month olds shed every 3/4 weeks, one of my adults sheds every 8 weeks and the other adult has not shed for 13 weeks now. I was concerned about this but i have been reassured by other members on here that he will shed when he needs to.
