Molting in snakes involves shedding their outer layer of skin in one piece, while molting in arthropods involves shedding their exoskeleton in multiple stages. Snakes shed their skin to accommodate growth and remove parasites, while arthropods molt to grow and repair damage to their exoskeleton. Additionally, molting in snakes is generally less frequent compared to arthropods.
Black snakes typically shed their skin every 4-6 weeks when they are young and growing rapidly. As they age, shedding may occur less frequently, about every 2-3 months. Skin shedding helps snakes grow and remove any parasites or old skin.
