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.
