shedding - how often

nikon Jun 23, 2004 09:40 AM

So Nona has only shed once since we've had him. We got him 4-5 months ago and our snake and leopard have shed a couple of times since then. He is healthy and eating well but no shed. Normal? What's a usual timeframe? I know they all differ but is once in 4-5 months normal?

How old is he? Young ones shed more often (mine are all older, so I don't know how often). Adults shed once or twice a year, so it sounds normal to me.
