For the past six months (he's a year and a half) it seems like Blake has constantly been shedding with only about a week in between sheds. He's just growing like crazy. As their growth rate slows down their shedding becomes more spaced out. So I don't think that there's any absolute as to how often a tegu should be shedding. It depends on the individual, what you're feeding it, and how old it is.
