How long does it take for a snake to molt?

According to the author's observation, the molting time of healthy snakes is very short, and the key is to grind off the epidermis of lips. If the lip epidermis is smooth, the molting action in the back takes only a few minutes, and the individual will molt completely after passing an obstacle in less than 1 minute. Unhealthy snakes or pregnant snakes that have just molted during pregnancy have a much slower molting speed, sometimes it takes several hours or even days to molt, and the molting is incomplete, intermittent and mostly fragmented. Judging from the completeness and damage degree of molting, it is also an important sign to test the health status of snakes. In the reproductive state, the snake molts once after the sting and before the sting, and the rest of the time it molts intermittently according to its physical condition.
