When do you know your corn is going to shed? How often do they shed?

you'll know when you're corn's skin starts getting darker and then his/her eyes will turn milky, and it depends on it's age

thanks, do you know how often they should shed?

how old is you're corn?

an adult corn snake will shed one to every three months, a young corn snake will shed it's skin quite often though, and never feed you're snake if it's gonna be shedding, but like I said you will know, mines skin gets really dark and then a day or so after his skin gets darker his eyes turn white (milky) he sheds a couple days after that

I'm not sure how old. Stupidly bought from pet store. She started out 3 weeks ago about 9" long, width of you pinky. Now, she's about 13 - 14" long and still the same width.
She gobbles one pinky every week, should I increase to 2 or move to fuzzie?
I appreciate all the help, we're very new at this

I understand, I got mine from petco awhile back but he was an adult when I bought him, I feed him an adult mouse every week...you could probably try two pinkies and see how that goes
