Do Snakes Shed During Brumation?

[Foxthor]

As the topic says..

I have had my stimson for 2-3 months now and she is brumating (however its spelt) and has not shed since i acquired her.

I can't remember my 8 year old spotted having shed while in brumation. They're not eating, so it makes sense that they wouldn't shed.

Yes they do!
Snakes are still active during brumation so will slough during this time, The period between sloughs will be much greater and a slough cycle will take longer during this time as well.

Thanks beeman,
Like I said I can't remember mine shedding (maybe my memory may be fading...) and assumed that they didn't.
