    I think my snake is shedding again? And a question about weight.

    Hi, he shed on January 1st 2019 and I noticed yesterday his eyes were foggy again. Is it too soon for another shed? Is he just growing? I was feeding him 1 pinky a week but he seemed like he was starving. So I switched to 1 fuzzy every 8-9 days. when I fed him the pinky he would continue to hunt for a good 15 min after, that's why I switched to a fuzzy. Now he just gulps it down and chills. He is an eastern and he was 18 inches when i first caught him, i haven't measured him sense. What is a weight range that is healthy for him? Is it normal that he is having another shed so soon?

    Just a quick note: it is officially spring here. But still chilly. Could this be why he is shedding? He is WC.

    With the right food and home these young snakes can grow quickly. I've had some that shed every month for 6 months. Keep a notebook on sheds and weight so you have a reference to look back on.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Thank you for answering. I will most definitely keep a record of weight, length and shed from now on. I appricate your help! I only know so much about garter snakes and I get worried very easily! That's partly why I joined this forum. So much knowledge here.
