How often do everyone's Sand Boa shed? I've had mine for a a few months & she hasn't shed yet. She's healthy, eating, all the settings are perfect in her cage but she just won't shed.

We would need to know the age of the animal before we can offer any advice...

That is part of the problem, I don't know her exact age. She is 16.5 inches though if that can give any indication.

If she's 16.5" and it's only been a few months then there's likely nothing to worry about. These snakes aren't like colubrids and their slower metabolism is reflected in various life processes, such as ecdysis.
