    baby garter snake sheeding problem

    iv had my baby garter snake for a little over a month now and i noticed he hasn't shown any sign of shedding. i was seeing if that could be a problem? he eats every 3 days usually worms and sometimes baby mice pieces.

    You should be fine. Snakes can go a while before shedding. As long as your snake is eating well, I wouldn't worry about it. He will shed at his own time, when he is ready. Good luck with your baby.

    Likely not a problem at all and I'm guessing you'll see a shed in the next few weeks

    Northwesterns are slow growers. They don't shed often and it shouldn't be anything to worry about. My babies were born in March, and only one has shed.
