he really is too old to be shedding like that but we couldnt find a reason as to why he was doing it. I measured his shed today and it was 6.5 feet long

It's funny cause I was about to proceed about asking his age. I guess that can be a little odd but he seems very healthy and gorgeous

hes about 2.5 years old. Hes had a lot of issues when he first arrived, one being completely INFESTED with mites. It took two good months of baths twice a day and PAM to get rid of them all. He is my beautiful boy, I am lucky to have him. I still have no clue what he is- he isnt like any hypo ive seen and Ive heard korbin say "paradox" but I havent a clue what that means O___o

Oh okay, I could still see sheds happening at that age. My 2 year old ball python still sheds about every 1.5 months but he only gets fed a medium rat every 2 weeks. Sounds like he got into the right hands though. You brought him back to health and I must say that his orange markings are quite beautiful and very saturated. I guess that could be the paradox part that Korbin was talking about?

Im glad I decided to get him, his blood cell level was low when I got him on top of that he had an RI caused by stress from the mites. He is 100% healthy now and plugging along. He gets a jumbo rat or pigeon every 14 days. As for his orange, yea, i think thats what korbin ment, that its not a morph but something that just more or less happens.
