Hi guys.

I've had my snake for about 2 months now and it has not shed since ive had him. It said on the paper it shed a month before i had him. hes about 7 months old now...i think. i cant find the paper right this very moment. i haven't seen his eyes cloud over and his skin always looks shiny and healthy...any input would be great

hope you all had a good christmas

We got Kelloggs at 6 months and were told he was due a shed as it was 4 weeks since the last one. It took 7 long weeks as we got more agitated with the wait! The one thing to remember is that they will shed when they are ready! Don't worry as long as he is feeding well and looking healthy. It will happen!

A lot of people just leave them to it, and they shed just fine, i prefer to use an ice cream tub with damp sphagnum moss

I chuck in a damp face cloth over one of the hides, does the trick, there are a few bad sheds about due to central heating drying the air out so it might be an idea to do something to raise humidity until after the shed as it wont do any harm.
