depending on how quickly the snake is growing they shed about every 4 weeks some times even more if they have mites but around 4 weeks for young ones and the older they get around every 6 weeks
hope that helps

Young, growing corns sometimes shed <i>very</i> often. I've heard of them shedding just a few weeks after their previous shed. As a general rule, small corns shed about once a month and, as they get older and larger, this becomes less frequent at about once every three months. Skin injuries will make them shed shed more frequently for a while while they heal.

yes little and neil awsered that correctly... young corns shed within usually a month... and when they hit full adult size they usually only shed about 2 times a year...
