shedding

[crzy_kevo]

just a quick question
How often should a 2-3 year old garter shed
and how long b4 i should get worried if it is not shedding

[adamanteus]

The frequency of shedding correlates directly to growth. If the snake is large, and growing more slowly, it will slough less often. How long since the last slough, Kevin?

well i have had george for almost 3 weeks but i recall my GF's brother saying he saw a snake skin the day i found her

Ripley (the bull snake), 15 years-old and 5' 8", sheds about three times a year.

As often as is necessary, which depends on the growth rate and wear&tear.

Only three weeks? Don't even think about it yet, Kevin.:)

Don't worry Kevin!
Deejay went almost 6 months without a shed once, and since then she going every month like clockwork! I expect she'll slow down again soon, as she's over 30 inches now. She just seemed to be on a major growth spurt for a while.
George will definitely grow and shed as she needs to. Just be patient!;)
