Do you guys think that burn marks affect shedding?

Hey guys,do you think that because my burm has burn marks on it(a lot),it affects the period of time to shed?

Shouldn't affect how long it takes them to shed. It may affect how many pieces the shed will come off in though. All pert of the healing process.

Think it's just that time of year when the snakes start slacking on the shed cycles..LOL

I agree totally. As long as temps are acceptable, and humidity is where it needs to be it will be fine .

I agree with brad, burn marks wont affect the time it takes a snake to shed, its still growing, but it will probably come off in pieces instead of one whole piece

Alright that sounds good then.Last queston for the night,how often do these 8' burms shed year round?(on a good feeding schedule)

[The Snake Guru]

Still pretty young at 8 foot, now obviously this is extremely variable since snakes even in the same species don't grow at a constant rate, it really varies on the individual....however if you are looking for an "average" about every month and a half .....like I said not exact science but I would say that would be a good average.
