Hi guys I've become a little bit concerned with my 8 month old female jungle constantly shedding, she's shed twice in the last 4 weeks, last shed was a week ago and is going dark again. I read that can be a sign of a few things.

Mites. Can't see anything
skin infection. Again apart from going dark can't see anything
I also read it can be sign of kidney problems in ball pythons.

I have recently bumped up feed Sizes but my male gets the same as her and sheds once a month. I thought they were a lil bit small for age when I got them started off on a couple of pinky mice every 6 days then went fuzzy and now hopper. Any thoughts or feedback much appreciated.

I should add her sheds are complete so it's prob just growth spurt, but better off safe than sorry I guess.

Ok think I'll grab some top of the descent to be safe. it says just mist the enclosure but don't directly spray the snake is this still safe in people's opinions?
 
Yeah your prob right guys just growing fast. Thought it better to ask though. Cheers for replys.
