    Not Shedding Much

    I've had my snake for about 3 1/2(?) months. He shed about a week after I got him, and he hasn't done it since then, so about 3 months and he hasn't shed. I guess I know it's not like a huge deal, but the only reason I'm slightly concerned is just that he's only about 21 inches long. I do know males don't generally get huge, but it just seems, to me, that he should have more growing to do. Does this sound ok to you guys? Is it possible he's about done growing?

    They shed throughout their lives. As long as he's not retained a shed I wouldn't worry too much.
    He'll probably go into shed any day now just to show you.

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