How often do pythons shed?Eg my olive is 3months old.Thanks
 
All depends on how much you feed, if you feed every 4-7 days expect it to shed every 4-8 weeks. As it gets older and it's growth slows down it will start to shed between bigger time intervals.

Depends on its growth and feeding rate Olive. Provided the temp/humidity is fine and its got something to rub on, it'll be fine. Look out for dull skin, cloudy eyes, this last a week, and it may not eat during this stage. the eyes will clear and the snake will shed about a week after that. Young snakes, growing faster will shed more often than older snakes. Hatchys average a shed a month or there abouts, but will depend on the snake. :wink:
