Hey Scoot
Congrats on the new sanke. They will shed quite often when young but just how often depends on how much they are being fed. Don't panic too much just dont feed it hen they are shedding as the lump can make it hard to slogh the skin. Most will refuse a feed anyway

Yes yes...true... It really depends on how much they are fed...Mine took ages to shed whilst on 2 pinkie mice every 5-7 days, but once i moved it up to one pinkie rat it every 5-7 days it shed after 3 feeds...So it depends on how often and how much you feed it...thats my opinion/experience anyways...

My Childrens now feeds less often (every 10-12days) and last feeding it ate a fuzzie rat instead of its pinkie rat that it rejected...My other snake ate his and she rejected hers after that so they swapped dinners lol:lol:...So I am guessing it will shed soon...He's about 5 months old now

Just watch and wait...Good luck
