It depends on how much they are fed. They can shed once a week or once a month and everything in between. Yes shedding is normal and shedding in pieces is normal also.

i only had my babies a few days and they started shedding.
i knew they shed but i thought something was wrong, i know they are diffrent but my snakes took awhile before their first shed.
