I am not really sure what could be wrong. Often lab tests are the only thing that can pinpoint it. I was talking to a well known breeder this spring and he mentioned that the frequent sheds may be a sign of bacterial infection. (As in not a virus, but bacterial infection which can be treated with an antibiotic, not saying there is bacterial growth in the cage)

There is really nothing to do right now, as long as the snake continues to feed and defecate well for now, and doens't loose weight you have time to get him to a vet. Although I HIGHLY recommend a vet visit ASAP!
