Difficult to be specific about this one !

Reptiles mainly shed their skin to grow - as it doesn't stretch like ours does. The general rule is - the younger the reptile, the more frequent it will shed. For example - a six-month-old corn snake will shed every 4-5 weeks, whereas an adult of the same species may only shed once a year, as it's not growing as fast as it used to.

Between $100 and $150 for proper caging, heating, lighting, and supplements to keep the animal healthy, plus the cost of a vet visit (this species is almost always wild-caught, so will need to be deparasitized). The lizard itself will probably be around $20. ('There's no such thing as a free puppy').
