Hey, Worried mom here!

Well, not extrememly but still being my first baby I want to make sure I'm doing everything right. I got my baby corn on June 13th. He was 2 months old. I didn't measure and weigh him when I first got him. I don't know what I was thinking, guess I was just too busy and forgot. Anyway, I know he has definately grown and has gone from eating 1 f/mp to now eating 2 f/mps every 5-6 days. He poops regularly and although I've never caught him in the water dish I did see him drink from it once. I would say he has grown about 2-3 inches in the last month and about 6 grams. my only concern is that he has not shed yet. Is this normal for baby corns? Shouldn't he have shed by now? I have his previous feeding record but no shed record so I don't know when the last shed was. I'm a little concerned but I don't think there is anything to really worry about, I guess I'm just looking for reasurance. lol

He really is a cute little boy too, and so easy to handle!
Here is my sweetie.


p.s. He is not my first corn, just my first baby corn. I bought my girl as an adult. she is 2.5 years old. And now I have gotten a third corn last week end. Beautiful, in shed now but can't wait till she/he comes out of shed so I can get some pics and get it sexed once it's settled in. The best thing about corns though is that they don't get stressed like some other snakes. Jeffery, my baby, ate the day after he got home. My female (adult) ate the same day she came home and she has never refused food.
