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.
It depends on how fast the snake grows. If a snake is growing quickly, it will shed more. If a snake is growing slowly, it won't shed as often.
Yes - if they have a injury to their skin - they will shed more frequently as their body tries to repair it.
