So both my Snakes have 'stopped' shedding
Kitty was shedding every 45days or so, Monster every 30.
Kitty's last shed was at the beginning of October (~100days ago) and Monster's was in September (~120 days ago)
Both of them are about a year and a half and I'm wondering 'Is this normal?' Is it just season and age?
Thanks

| They will shed less as they get older. My oldest Corn (about 7 years old) will shed maybe 2 or 3 times per year. All to do with decreasing growth rate as they age. Smallest sheds more often as it grows proportionately bigger than a 1 or 2 year old. |

| 8 now sheds every 2 months rather than monthly now and he's 18 months old. Jinx although younger also sheds every 2 months but he seems to be growing very slowly. |

I was exactly the same as you - last winter, Bazil's sheds were really spaced out, and this year, Little T went 95 days without a shed, and yet has grown and put on lot of weight. I was starting to worry, why he wasn't shedding, as he's still under 2 years old... then he shed.
I think they can ease off a bit in winter, and like Auld had said, they shed less and less often , the older they get. |

It's probably all part of their master plan to give us something else to worry about  |
