Will a snake's skin become infected if it doesn't shed?

A snake will shed. It may take longer for some than others. Normally it only takes 3 days after their eyes shed, but some could take a few weeks. Also, seeing as their skin is air-tight and encased, there is no way for it to become infected. If a tear is made in their old skin, their new skin will not become infected either unless you have it in conditions it should not be in.

Do snakes shed?

A lot of factors determine how often a snake sheds like: injuries, illnesses, rapid growth, feeding frequency, and so on. I have found that my snakes usually shed every 1-3 months, but I've had them go as long as 9 months without a shed or go into another shed cycle as quickly as 1 week later. It definitely depends on a lot of factors.

What is the life time of a snake?

Anywhere from 100- 250 depending on the species ! Take an average Boa constrictor... newly-hatched specimens may shed every six weeks - that's eight times in its first year alone. They live an average of 40 years - so you can 'guestimate' around 200 sheds over its lifetime.

hatchlings and ones in between adult and hatchling shed about every month and adults shed about every six months. P.S. Your snake will not eat for about two weeks, will start to look sick, and they will start to turn somewhat gray and their eyes will look almost completely gray when shedding.
