yep, they shed as they need to as they grow, some quicker or slower than others. you don't need to worry yet. What and how often is he feeding?

The time it takes for them to shed can vary. All depending on food, temps etc etc. I wouldn't be too concerned as of yet, my diamonds usually shed ruffly once a month but this time one of them took about 7 weeks for no apparant reason.

He'll shed when he's ready just check him after he does shed to make sure it all comes off nicely, you don't want to leave any shed on him, aaah the anticipation of a shed.......

If its in pieces he may need slightly more humidity, when in shed just place his water bowl closer to the heat source and this can help...

Make sure the water bowl is big enough so he can soak in it and completly submerse his body.
