How often do BP's shed?

[ChompsBP]

I just got a new Ball Python (named it chomps after I saw him eat a mouse) and it just did its first shed. It wasn't a very good one, but i think its because i had to leave him at a friends house over thanksgiving break and they never filled his water bowl. But my quesiton is how often should i expect to see him shed. Thanks.


btw- of topic but ive been waiting for a ball python scince i was about 8 (now im almost 19) and i love this thing.

It all depends on how fast they grow.....anywhere from once a month to once every two months for mine....
