Hey guys, just a quick one, its been 3 months since my snake shed last, she is only just over 1 and a half years old and i think should have shed by now, so any thoughts or ideas as my paranoid sense is taking over...

cheers

I wouldn't worry, she'll shed when ready. My sisters corn only just shed after having him about 3 - 4 months!

depends on many factors, whether they are being fed just enough for little growth, or whether power feeding, which some do, or whetehr you feeding it just right

My corns shed every month, when they were on pinkies and fuzzies, but now they are on mice, its more every month and half,

as they get older they do slow down too

both my 2 who are both just over a year and a half shed roughly every 7-10 weeks now, lilly's on medium mice (1 every 10 - 14 days) and harry's on small mice (1 every 7 - 10 days), so long as its eating and slithering around doing snakey things i wouldn't worry, it'll shed when he's ready and outgrown his old skin
