Snakes shed their skin a few times a year. This is known as ecdysis or molting, and it is a natural process that allowsthe snake to grow and renew its skin. During shedding, the old skin is sloughed off to reveal a new and more flexible skin underneath. Snakes shed their skin as they grow, and the frequency of shedding depends on several factors, includingthe snake to grow and replace its old, worn-out skin. During the shedding process, the snake's eyes may turn opaque and the skin becomes dull and loose, allowing the snake to wriggle out of it. Once the snake has shed its skin, it emerges with a fresh and vibrant new skin that is more pliable and better suited to its growth and movement. Shedding can be influenced by factors such as temperature, humidity, and nutrition, and it is an important part of a snake's health and well-being.
