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.
