My little Royal is about 3-4 months old she shed before I had her about 2 weeks ago. Could you give me estimates on how often and when to expect her next shed. I know the signs to lookout for when she starts but was just curious.

thanks

They shed as they grow. Seeing as most of their growing is done in the warmer months, this is when they will shed more often. If fed well you can probably expect a young ball to shed once a month, some even every three weeks. Shedding isn't a major event in a snakes life, so it's isn't so important to be ready for it when it happens . You'll see the signs well ahead of the actual shed.
