snake not shed for what seems like months

[nickj]

hey, my corn, about 9/10 months old hasn't shed for what seems like at least two months or more, s/he was previously shedding every 4/5 weeks or so, should i be worried? i kno some reptiles eat their skin afterwards, is this likely with a corn snake? would any of this mean i'm not feeding him enough?
any help greatly appreciated.

As they get older they shed less. You may want to start writting down when s/he sheds so you have a better idea.

What are you feeding your snake on and how often? If you weigh it monthly you'll know what it's growth rate is

he gets one fuzzy every 6 days, been trying to go by the 'munson plan' weight guide posted up here somewhere but to meet that the mice would be too big for his head.

If he's gaining weight nicely I wouldn't worry. They do gradually shed at longer intervals as they get older

One of my little corns skipped a shed I thought. She went four mos. and should've shed twice in that time. It bugged me because I like to record my snakes' events(and save sheds lol). Well, couple days ago cleaning her tub I found the wadded up shed in the substrate:

Is that a full shed but munched up or half a shed?

It looks like a full shed that just got stuck together in a ball.

You'd be surprised what they can shove down there. Try the size of mouse listed on the Munson Plan and give him some time to work on it.
