How often does a yearling Indigo shed?

Hey, it's me again.

It seems like my yearling Indigo sheds about once a month. Is that normal?

Once a month is what mine have done.

Sounds right

Young Drymarchon, when properly fed, grow at an incredible rate and will go through ecdysis once every three - five weeks. This can also occur in adults that sustain dermal injuries and gravid females...

Best regards,

Jeff

actually

doesn't all colubrid snakes go through ecdysis every 4 to 6 weeks ? Maybe my boids and pythons slowed a little of older age. Oops, forgot that my hots averaged about every 8 weeks...............

Not in my experience..

Most of my adult Pituophis and Drymarchon shed once every eight - twelve weeks, though they do go through periods of more frequent ecdysis cycles...

Best regards,

Jeff
