If he's a hatchling, then he'll shed once every 4-6 weeks. If he's an adult, around 4 times a year.

You don't usually need to worry about that in the UK. If he has trouble shedding, you can put a humid hide in the tank, so he has somewhere extra humid to hide out. A humid hide is an ordinary plastic tub like a sandwich box, with a snake-sized hole cut in the lid or side. One-third fill it with something damp like sphagnum moss or vermiculite. Damp paper towel will do, but it dries out easily and you need to keep changing it.

As long as it isn't something resinous like pine (which can cause breathing problems for snakes), then wood chips will be fine. They're common here in the UK, whereas shredded aspen is the norm in the US. You can find aspen here if you want to try it.

Just another tip - if you could break your posts down into individual sentences, it will make them easier to read and you might get more replies :)

I would just wait until Saturday; missing one feeding won't harm him as long as he is healthy.

Chap - this is the fourth time you've asked this question (in one case, twice on the same thread!) and I've answered twice and you've had two other replies that I've read.

I'll say again - it doesn't matter. You can feed today or on Saturday. It makes no difference to the snake. There aren't really any rules on some of these things, there are just the things that work for you and your snake. Different things work for different people and sometimes you just have to take a breath and do what you think is best if there are no clear guidelines.

Time to decide!
