Question
Hey...i just bought a baby ball python about 2 and half months ago...he still has not shed...hes eating fine and everything but just will not shed...is this ok....

Answer
Hey Melvin,

snakes will shed as they grow it sounds like yours may have shed right before you got it, or your ball or royal is growing slow if you do not see a shed in the next three weeks please let me know and we will go from there , but you have beat half the battle in that yours is eating well for you , not always the case a lot of ball/royal pythons
