Hi I have posted a couple of times before my boa is 10 years old I've only had him for a couple of months he was under weight when I had him and the set up was all wrong we've sorted that out now and for the last 4 weeks he's been eating a XLRG rat he shed two weeks ago and he's shed again tonight is this normal to shed so soon after last one sorry if I sound thick but i've only had corns before thanks

If he was underweight and has been eating on a weekly basis then I would say he's just putting weight on.

When he's put a bit of weight back on I would drop his food down to once every 3-4 weeks at his age so he doesn't get fat.
