Snakes shed when they outgrow their skin. How frequently depends upon the age of the snake and how well it has been eating. Younger snakes, well fed, will shed more frequently than older snakes who do not grow as rapidly. The young snakes will shed several times in their first year of life while adults may shed only once or twice in a year.
If all goes well, youngsters grow rapidly. Each time they come out of hibernation, they shed their skin, and with each skin shedding (molting) a new rattle appears. During the rapid growth of the first few years, they may molt three times annually.
It depends on how fast they outgrown their skin. If they are growing fast, as most young snakes do, they will shed several times in their first year. Older adult snakes may only shed once or twice per year.
Rattlesnakes shed there skin about six times a year that's every 6-10 weeks. They add a new layer of rattle very time they shed.
whenever they feel like they need too. they shed to grow so whenever they grow out of there old skin is when they shed no certain time frame
Well, I have 5 pet snakes And they shed EveryMonth;So Pretty Much 12 Times in a year.
There is no specific 'season'. Snakes shed their skins in order to grow. Depending on their age - this can happen as many as six times a year, or as few as once every two years.
There is no set time - they shed when they need to - as they outgrow their skin.
It does not matter, they can shed at anytime..Most shed up to three times a year.
Rattlesnakes shed depending upon their growth rate. Baby rattlers eat a lot and grow fast so will shed several times while an adult may only shed once or twice a year.

As snakes grow the skin doesn't grow with them, so they shed the skin because it no longer "fits" them. By shedding the skin they can get larger, and grow.
It all really depends on the species, the amount of food it eats, it's temperature and even injuries can effect the snakes ability to shed it's skin. Some snakes can shed as frequently as once every month, others much slower.
