Hi Joseph,

My Garters can sometimes be hiding away for a good couple of weeks while they prepare for shedding. Its completely normal as snakes cant see properly when their eyes are cloudy they hide so the feel safe. As for how often they shed, depends on a lot of things, i find that young snakes shed approx. every month, sometimes more whilst they are growing and adult snakes shed every few months since their growth rate slows down.
