What month of the year do black snakes shed skin?

Answer 1

Snakes shed when they outgrow their skin. How frequently depends upon the age of the snake and how well it has been eating. Younger snakes, well fed, will shed more frequently than older snakes who do not grow as rapidly. The young snakes will shed several times in their first year of life while adults may shed only once or twice in a year.

Answer 2

If all goes well, youngsters grow rapidly. Each time they come out of hibernation, they shed their skin, and with each skin shedding (molting) a new rattle appears. During the rapid growth of the first few years, they may molt three times annually.

Answer 3

It depends on how fast they outgrown their skin. If they are growing fast, as most young snakes do, they will shed several times in their first year. Older adult snakes may only shed once or twice per year.
