Re: Shedding again

for what I understand, snakes are shedding cos they grow and the skin is getting too small.

I might be wrong, but the way I see it is that you have a very healthy snake that is still growing. I would not worry about it.

Re: Shedding again

Snakes will shed as they grow. They will also shed as a part of a natural healing process if they have wounds to heal or have external parasites such as mites. Sometimes rapid shed cycles are the result of an injury or may indicate the presence of parasites, Mark
P.S. for mites use NIX http://www.albertareptilesociety.org/caresheets/nix.pdf
