I bought a red tail about 5 months ago. He is approx. 6 1/2 feet long and is very active and docile. However he seems to shed alot. in the five months that i have had him this is his 4th shed. How often do they normaly shed? I had a slightly smaller (5 feet?) red tail female a few years back and she didnt shed as often. i wouldnt ask except i dont usually handle my snakes when they are in shed mode as i was bitten once and dont want to take that chance again. and it seems that i can never hold samson since he is shedding so much
