i bought a mali about 2 months ago and I don't think he's shed. i've had the idea in my head that they shed almost like a snake and it all comes off at once, is that right?

Not in my experience. Generally when mine starts to shed it comes off in pieces. He's actually really good with it. I'll usually find only a few bits still clinging on to him stubbornly, which he needs help removing.

Punctuation. It saves lives.

They shed in pieces and sometimes can take weeks.

ohhh ok then, so he should be doing fine, cuz I notice that parts do come off every now and then.

Sometimes it looks like they are in a constant state of shed.

how often are they supposed to shed. ive had mine for about 2 months now and he hasnt shed at all. he is lookin a bit dull though so I would assume its soon.

Average probably every few months. Depends on their growth rate. Adults shed less frequently as they get older.
