How often does a Ball Python shed?
The time between sheds generally varies anywhere from three weeks to three months. There are many determining factors of shedding frequency, including the age of the snake, food intake and frequency, breeding, and its health. The faster a snake grows, the sooner it will shed. On average, a baby snake may shed every month or two, and a larger adult may shed less frequently. Injuries, illness and severe stress can also cause sheds. Paying attention to shed cycles is important in recording the health of your animal.
