Friendly, fearless, curious Baby Snake is grumpy! Shedding.Tried stroking him sympathetically but whatever bit of him I touch shrugs me off!
Varies according to how fast they are growing, how much they eat & temperature, humidity of tank. 5-15 times a year?

At this age, I'd expect him to shed every 3 meals or so? Meals are 7-10 days apart.
-
So, the shedding only happens when they grow, cos the skin can't expand?
-
Yes but also needs to replace itself when growth is negligible. Protects them from parasites, keeps skin healthy.
-
Its horrible for them because they can't see for a few days. :( My observation tells me it's uncomfortable too.
