Does there appear to be any issues with the skin? (Dry, flaky, etc?) If not, no worries. They shed when they shed.

Babies usually shed about every 4 to 6 weeks, but 2 months is nothing to worry about. How often are you feeding?

I feed one pinky every 5 days

That sounds like a normal schedule, although if you've had him since June, you may want to start giving him larger meals. Do you know how much he weighs?

If snake is 15g plus then one pink every 5 days is only maintaining the weight not really enough feeder for the snake to grow so might be why no sheds. Really need to know weight of snake so you can get on a proper feeding schedule.

I dont know how much he weighs but he is still pretty small, he regurgitated the first pinky i gave him so i waited 10 days after to feed again and gave him pinky heads only for a while before going back to full pinkies, i guess this might have stunted his growth, i will have to try weighing him sometime and I will post his weight then, thanks for all the replies guys!
