A large fuzzy once a week doesn't sound like too much.
I found that my hatchlings shed on an average of once every three weeks for the first three or four months of their lives. This was with weekly feedings. After they reached three or four months of age it seemed to change to about every four or five weeks.
How old is your snake and how big?

my snake is (i think) about 8 to 10 months old almost a year. and its about 14 inches to 16 inches long.

If it is only 14 to 16 inches at 8 to 10 months then it is definitely not growing too quick. Sounds like it is growing kind of slow.
Maybe you should try getting a more accurate measurement of it's length. You might be surprised.
I really don't think you have anything to worry about.
Got any pics?
have you tried Serps measurer?
