It completely depends on the growth of the gecko. Faster growing = shedding more often. Generally a Sub adult will shed every week or two weeks if it's growing a lot, and adults can go a full month before shedding. Like I said, it is dependant on amount of growth. I wouldn't worry about the shedding as much as I would a weight fluctuations.
