Shedding concern... ( sorry its a semi long post, please read)

nana32 Sep 18, 2003 11:40 AM

how often do red tails shed, i know all are different and it depends on feeding schedule, but generally? i guess im just asking how often your red tail sheds, because its been about a month since i hvae had mine and he eats wonderfully every week, but is yet to shed...should i be concerned??

also was wondering if the always hide, no matter night or day? because i see pictures and they are out of there hide boxes, but mine is always hiding...( i know they are nocturnal but geez)

thanks for your help...

Seems like every one of my snakes shed every three weeks, my garters, kings, ball pythons and boas all shed roughly three weeks at a time.

My boas shed on an average of about every 2 months. Frank
