When you see a comparison using "like" or "as," you're looking at a simile. This one is comparing a person to a snake shedding its skin, so it's either talking about a person with very dry skin who is shedding - not likely, as that doesn't make a very nice mental image - or it's talking about someone changing the way a snake does when it sheds its skin. If a person were to "shed their skin," they might appear different, or act different, or maybe even think differently.

What is the main reason a snake sheds often?

Snakes shed their skins as they grow. Snake skin doesn't 'stretch' or get replaced 'bit by bit' like ours does. They shed their whole outer skin when a new skin has formed underneath. The new skin is slightly larger than the old one - enabling the snake to 'grow' into it. The older a snake is - the less it needs to shed.

Is it a bad thing if your snake doesn't shed when it is supposed to?

Don't worry, your snake will shed when he's good and ready. As they grow older, they will shed less often as their growth slows own. If you are really worried, just make sure that there is a bowl of water big enough for the snake to soak in, and the snake will soak himself if it is going to shed.
