Change in shed intervals

[zwyatt]

Okay, just a basic question about time intervals between sheds. I was wondering if anyone sees a very noticable difference in time intervals between sheds for seemingly no reason. The reason I am curious is that:

My snow's first 3 (?) sheds with me were like clock work with about a month between each. Now it has already easily been a month (closer to 5 weeks) since the last shed and she usually starts hiding more about 6-7 days before the actual shed. And she isn't hiding yet. So I figure it will close to 6 weeks between this shed and last. She's been moved up to eating fuzzies for a few weeks now and I figured if anything this would make her shed sooner. She did seem a little dull today when I held her so maybe it is coming soon. I'm not at all concerned but wondering if anyone else sees anything like this with theirs. Thanks

I've experienced the exact same thing with my snake. First two sheds were a month apart and the third came six weeks later...AFTER I bumped her up to fuzzies. Weird huh?:shrugs: I keep track of her records, ie: poops, feeds, weight, sheds, etc... and here's how it goes
5/12
6/13
7/26

I guess I can't really answer your question, just share my info and let you know that you're not alone on this topic. Maybe the experts will let us know the secret. I do know that they say as a snake gets older and grows up it does shed less often.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I figured at some point the time between them would change but didn't expect it to be so abrupt and elongated. I figure there may be something else going on that I don't realize although I haven't changed anything other than pinks --> fuzzies.
