Adult shed frequency?

My adult corn snake (4’ 2”) had a healthy shed 34 days ago. Today i noticed she’s in blue again. Shes been eating and pooping normally, healthy activity level, etc so no abnormal behaviors or signs of stress that I’ve noticed.

Here’s a pic of her 4x2x2 enclosure. Hot side is 81-85°F and cool side is 73-75°. Is it abnormal for her to shed again so quickly after her last or is this not necessarily cause for concern?

Coincidentally, she is scheduled for a general wellness check with her vet this afternoon anyway so I’ll be asking them but curious to what other owners’ thoughts are.

Wish us luck!

Alduin has been deep in premolt for a couple of months and laid a molt mat last night. She just flipped within the last hour. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly 🥹 female t stirmi

Noticed this mark on her chin/jaw this morning. She was a rescue and has been in my care for a little over a month now. Is this scale rot? She’s acting normal otherwise: good appetite, defecating normally, active. I scheduled a general wellness vet check for her shortly after adopting her and the soonest they had available is next week. Needless to say I’ll be asking about this when i go so please save your “VET” comments. Any ideas what this is, and what to do right now?

Hot side temp/humidity = 80°F, 45%
Cool side temp/humidity = 72°, 50%

Substrate is eco earth/playsand and dry to the touch.

My rescue, Dovah, has been upgraded to a 4x2x2. I think I’m done decking the place out and welcome feedback and constructive criticism if there’s anything y’all see that I should adjust or change. Tia!
