Posted - 07/10/2011 : 14:05:31 Just a quick question ... how often are hatchlings meant to shed?
Mia was 3 months old on the 5th of this month and she hasn't shed with us yet, although she's grown ... a lot. We had her on the 13th August.
Was just wondering if this is normal as when we upped our kings food he was shedding like there's no tomorrow. |

Posted - 22/10/2011 : 14:57:14 He will soon enough =) I was worried too, but I have learnt they don't shed that often. Thinking back Toki only shed a few times with us and we had him nearly a year.
Mia's all nicely shed and Freddie just had his first shed this week and he's still tiny. Although he didn't eat for four weeks, so understandable!

Posted - 07/10/2011 : 20:51:18 I think hoggies shed less frequently than some other snakes. I have just looked at the records for mine and according to them both didnt shed for about 4 months after purchase from the shop. The female was born May2010 bought in Aug2010 and has shed 5 times since. The male was born April2010 bought in July2010 and has shed 4 times since. I bought them in April this year so cant vouch for the accuracy of the records before this.
Don't know if that helps in any way lol |
