A lot of factors determine how often a snake sheds like: injuries, illnesses, rapid growth, feeding frequency, and so on. I have found that my snakes usually shed every 1-3 months, but I've had them go as long as 9 months without a shed or go into another shed cycle as quickly as 1 week later. It definitely depends on a lot of factors.

∙ 12y agoShedding of the outer layer of skin occurs as often as 15 times a year in juvenile snakes and about one to four times a year in adults, depending on the growth rate. The external layer of the skin does not grow and is therefore shed periodically, irrespective of the time of year.
