My ball has shed twice in the last month and is dull in color now so it's about to shed again. I heard sometimes frequent shedding is because of a disease. I checked him out and he seems to be ok. Could it be that he's just growing that quickly? I feed him about twice a week. What's the deal?

Is he a smaller Ball? When they are younger (smaller) they shed alot more than they do when they are full grown or nearly full grown.

What kind of substrate you got him in? I had a snake with that problem once...he was in Repti-Bark...that was the problem.
