Shedding problem

[sassysnake]

I have a male bp, about 2 yrs old, and he seems to be shedding WAY too often. I feel like the minute he finishes, less then a week later he is going into blue again. Is their someone who can explain what might be causing this? Am I doing something wrong, like too low / high humidity or something? He is shedding almost once a month, give or take

There is no such thing as "too often" or "not often enough" when it comes to a shed, poop, eating etc. Ball pythons know ball pythons best, and you trying to tell them differently is a waste of time. Let your snake be a snake.

A possible problem could be mites or ticks, all snakes will slough more when they have external parasites. Is it cbb or ranched or wild caught? how long have you had them? who did you get them from? were they treated if wc? how often is it eating?
sorry if it seems like a long list but it could help determine if there is a problem.

Hmmm.........good thought, I'm sure you're right, he knows what he's doing, I'm prob just overprotective. He is cative bred, and I have searched for mites and see no signs...........hopefully he is just fine
Thanks guys
