I think the eyes usually go dull/opaque. That's a sure sign. Not sure how often the particular snake would have to shed, I'd ask where you got it heh.

When young depending on how often & how much they eat they can shed after every feed.

thanks faye he is a great feeder he takes two pinkies a week no problems at all takes em str8 away he is really plump and very active so as far as i can see he is very healthy

if he is eating well & is gaining weight it sounds like he is fine! My corns can be a pain! My common boa will shed after he eats a rat so once every 2-4 weeks depending on how hungry he is.
