We've got a corn snake, she's 10 wks old, she had her 2nd shed on the 13/8/03 and she's going into shed again.
I thought they shed every 4-6wks.
She has 1 fuzzie every 5 days.
Is this normal???

Yep...totally normal.

when they are younger they do tend to shed like that.....then there might be times where it wont shed for months....u never no...thats my personal experience.

I have an orange candycane that has shed 4 times since he hatched june 28. So it shed every 2 weeks and is growing like a weed.

They will shed the more they grow. So since they are babies they will shed more often. When they start getting older you will notice they won't shed as often. My 2 adults only shed every 2-4 months. and my babies i never know could be a few weeks could be a month.

our bull snake,boa and adult corn all shed every month at the moment.
Our female corn seems to be getting very long. I thought they were about 2ft long at one year, she's already 18in and she's not quite 2 months old, I think she's going to be a very large corn.
