Unless I'm missing something, I didn't see your definition of a rapid shed.
All of my drys shed every 4 to 6 weeks - like clockwork.
My largest BT's sheds from July of last year:
July 19
August 27
September 26
October 31
December 4
January 9
My female Indigo's shed cycle during the same period:
August 3
September 11
October19
November 27
December 30
February 1
Compared to my other colubrids (with the exception of western and mexican hognoses), pythons, etc,. my drys shed more regularly and more frequently.
As to the BT not eating, I've had the odd squirt that won't eat. I've had success with feeding trout pieces.
Once hooked on the trout, I will marinate an appropriately sized rodent in the trout by sticking it in the body cavity of the fish.
