Second shed in two months - need to worry?

I have a mature milk snake/ kingsnake who shed well on 3/12/06.
He then shed again on 5/21/06. Do I need to worry about this? Is he reacting to his bedding? Is he eating too much?

Thanks in advance.

that sounds about normal to me... how often does he usually shed?

as long as everything else is ok with him that shouldnt be a problem.

some snakes shed more than others... or in your case, less than others.

how often is the snake eating?

Its Ok.

I have a Corn Snake named Jake. I read that they shed once a month when younger, wich he has done. (Hes in his second shed cycle now!) When they get older they shed less. They never stop growing, but they shed a few times a year. Also when they are injured or have scale obstructions they will shed much more often to heal! My two cents.
