How often do babies shed?

Gralena

Corn Snake Diva
I was under the impression that baby snakes shed pretty frequently, like every 3-4 weeks? We have had Monty since 12-12, and I think I remember Kathy saying he had shed about a week before that. He does not appear to be in blue at all (although, I have never seen that in real life :)...is it normal for it to take this long?
 
i wouldn't be worried yet. They do vary in growth rate, so that can affect shed frequency. How often do you feed? Every 5 days?

Depending what morph corn you have you can notice a darkening of colours before the blue phase of the shed cycle so whatch out for that, although its more difficult to see on amels/snows
 
I guess it depends on how often you feed him and genetics.
My anery sheds quicker than my amel.
In the beginning there was 2 weeks between my 2 snakes
and now my amel shedded 10jan and my anery 12jan.
It's 2 days instead of 2weeks.
I think now my anery will be the first one to shed again.
 
My corn isn't very old, probably only a month or two when I got him in August and he sheds a little less than once a month. I can never tell when he's going to either. I had him out a couple nights ago and his eyes weren't blue and his colors weren't faded. This morning I found a perfect shed in his viv. *Shrug*
