baffling question

my blizzard hasnt shed his skin and suppose to be happened couple weeks go
like 30th sept so im pretty worried.

its 18th now so can anyone help me here please

Good Morning Johnny,

It is just a general guideline that snakes shed about every 30 days or so. It is not a problem if they don't. It just means their growth rate was a bit slower possibly. Check down in the substrate to be sure the shed isnt buried and if you don't see it , don't worry. These things happen as they should. It is all a part of the natural order with Snakes. With Blizzards it is hard to tell when they are pre-shed but they do get a general dullness look about them.

Shedding isn't always a rigidly scheduled event for corns (or for any snake). If you're feeding it properly, it's digesting, and there are no other problems, I wouldn't worry about it. It'll shed when it needs to.

And good morning to you too Dean I didnt see you in the corner when I made my posts :wavey:

thank you very much. his eating is fine every 5 days while my anery eats every 4 days shes lot bigger then him and she only few weeks older. i find it bit strange that he eats only 1 he wont seem to eat 2 while my anery she will eat 2
they bout 4 months old

I agree with the above posts... snakes don't follow a rigid timeline. Remember, snakes don't follow our calendar - he doesn't reach a certain date and think "Gosh, guess I'd better shed now." Relax - animals aren't machines and he knows best. He'll know when it's time.

I have to agree with what's been said already. He will shed when he is ready. It is also possible that, like dawnrenee said, his shed is buried in the substrate. That has happened to me on multiple occasions.
