Shedding

I just got my first corn snake and it just entered its first shed cycle since i've had it. ( 2 weeks ) I was just wondering how often corn snakes shed?

It varies. Usually the eyes will clear up, then 1 or 2 days later, it sheds.

My experience is they almost always shed at night. Often before midnight, but after dusk.
