Question

Roughly how often does a Stimson Python shed?

Answer 1

It will depend on multiple things but you can always tell when it is getting ready to shed. Its eye will get a milky blue/white film over them. The body will also get this shiny milky look to it. This will last for a few days to a week then go away usually within a day or two it will shed. When you see this happening stop feeding it. Snake generally don't eat when they are getting ready to shed. Good luck.

Answer 2

if you feed it once a week you are looking at about once every 3 months.  it depends how many calories you are putting into the animal and how much it is growing

Answer 3

Hello; that depends on their age, care, how often they are fed, etc.

The average for a baby to a juvenile that is fed weekly is once every 4-6 weeks (sometimes a little more or less, depending on the snake), slowing down to 2-6 times per year when the snake reaches its adult size. :)

Here are a couple of articles on shedding in snakes, the general process, frequency, common problems, and what to do about them should they occur.
