LOL, 4 weeks is nothing to be concerned w/.However, if the snake is 10' and only eats once every month, i highly doubt it is shedding every two weeks.

With all that aside, make sure your temps and humidity are good and leave the snake alone.Get the snake eating on a schedule and then move to f/k or f/th.
