to reproduce and strengthen in a process called keratinzation
African dwarf frogs do shed their skin regularly as a natural part of their growth process. This shedding helps them maintain healthy skin and allows for proper growth. It is normal for them to shed and should not be a cause for concern.
No, eels do not shed their skin like snakes. Eels have a slimy mucus layer on their skin that helps protect them from parasites and bacteria, but they do not shed their skin. Instead, their skin grows with their body and they may appear darker or lighter depending on their environment.
Lizards shed their skin as they grow, so the frequency of shedding can vary depending on the species, age, and overall health of the lizard. Generally, adult lizards shed their skin every few weeks to months, while younger lizards may shed more frequently as they are growing rapidly.
Snakes shed because there skin does not grow with there body, as human skin grows with the body. Snakes shed more when there young and shed less when there older. Rattlesnakes grow a new layer of there rattle every time they shed, so the older the louder.

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.
ALL snakes (and lizards) shed their skin periodically. The general rule is - the younger the reptile - the more frequently they shed. Reptile skin is regenerated all at once - not in tiny flakes like human skin. Thus they have to shed their skin in order to grow.
No. Most snakes do not. Most will shed their skin on the ground.
Geckos shed their skin about once every 1-2 months.
