How often is the pythonin question eating and what is it being fed?

[richboy89]

once a week and its one fuzzy mice. but the snake isnt getting overfeed. i think maybe underfeed because she went off food for about 4 weeks just before she started to shed like that. but she is eating properly now.

isnt unusual for a young snake to slough often.
if you can see some skin condition that looks unusual like a burn for example
or scale rot they slough multiple times to get rid of the prob
but they also slough often when young

Yeah i wasn't suggesting over feeding i was trying to grasp the growth rate. Yeah i wouldnt worry unless skin starts to feel wet and or sticky.

one of mine shed 10 month old snakes shed 3 weeks apart and i was only feeding it the same as the rest . I was told because it was a bad feeder at the start but now is very good it is just catching up
