Hi guys

Just a quick bit of info needed. I'm aware snakes shed at iregular intervals. But my variable king shed about 3 weeks ago. Looking at his belly now its gone slightly milky again, how it was maybe 2 weeks before the previous shed. Would 5 weeks between sheds be odd.

He's really settled in now. Feeds on 2 fuzzy mice every week (and I think he's take more - maybe this isnt enough for a 2' 8 king !??) is ultra handleable and I've now started seeing him out and about in his viv a lot more.

Anyway, if anyone could 'shed' some light on this shedding business that would be fab...

Many thanks
Mat

Times between sheds can vary and from what you've said I would say there is nothing to worry about


1.1.0 Arizona mountain king (Sylar and Claire)
0.1.0 Blotched king ( Jasmin)
1.1.0 Guyana red-tail boa (Hercules and Athena)
1.0.1 children (Alfie and BUMP)
