Again so soon....

[corngurl2011]

I have a question. I've had my baby corn since March and she has shed twice since then the first was April 7th and the second was May 9th. And I just noticed today that she's going blue again already. Is she shedding to much it seems like she's shedding to soon this time its only been a little over 3 weeks since she shed in May. Could something be wrong or is it ok for her to shed again so soon? I'm a bit worried that something is wrong. Any help would be a great help.

In my opinion just shows it is growing good.

My babies are shedding about once a month as well. They're just growing.

my baby had two sheds in 1 month and a half once! nothing to be worried about!

Mine have picked up their shed cycle as well. It's spring and they're growing fast

My two shed once a month too. It's just showing you are feeding your baby well and she's growing. That's a good sign

Ok I jus didn't want something to be wrong. Thank you all.

Just for your future information, when corns are injured they do shed faster, -BUT- I don't think this is what's happening here.

If an injury is what was making your corn shed faster, like a bite from a mouse, you'd probably be able to see it.

Sound like your little guy is right on schedule. From the point a snake goes blue, it still has a ways to go before actually shedding. It sounds like your snake is still consistently on this schedule! Young snakes shed more often.

No injuries here. I only feed frozen pinkies. Well thawed pinkies.. but I was just hopein she's not sick I don't seen any yucky stuff in or around her nose mouth nothing there's no reason she should be sick her tank is always clean and she doesn't go exploring, I just don't want anything to happen to her. And she's still eating. Also is it normal for them to eat when in blue? A few place on the net said they will not eat till after they shed. But she ate today. Should I have waited till after she shed. Or is it ok that I fed her. I feed her on a very regular schedule.

Some can regurge if fed when blue, but none of mine ever have.

If you're worried in future, it won't hurt an established eater for feeding to be postponed by a few days until after the shed. You're the one with the timetable - the snake won't know that dinner's "late"!
