My black and white arg. was born July 1st, 2005. He hasn't shed since about early September. Is this anything to worry about? He seems perfectly happy/healthy/active/alert. He gets pinkies and dusted crickets mainly.
Also about what size should he be by now being about 4 months old? i think i may have gotten the runt of the clutch

I would say my Tegu's shed around every 5-6 weeks - Add some more variety to the diet "fruits" - My Argentine turned 4 months old 5 days ago and is now 2 feet and is eating hoppers usually every 3rd feeding... _________________ 1.0.0 Ball Python "Albino"

Mine tends to shed every 2 months or so, but has shed soemtimes twice in a month, and sometimes a much longer period. I think it has a lot to do with diet and humidity in the enclosure.
