    Shedding problems

    I got my corn snake from Petsmart (yes, I know, PETSMART! They're terrible & I regret it). They gave me this chart telling me when the snake shed & when it arrived at Petsmart. She came at 6/13/19, so my snake should be at least 9 months old. In Maple's entire life, she has only shed about 3 times. She is a healthy weight (I think), & is around the same length as when I bought her (almost 6 months). I'm pretty sure this is bad? Any ideas on what is happening?

    Maybe if you up the humidity, the snake will shed faster. Snakes should be growing, but different snakes grow at different paces.

    Make sure to avoid scale rot. Don't make it too humid. Good for you though!
