I wouldn't expect a snake that's almost a year old to shed that often. Something like four or five sheds a year would be more realistic. I don't keep shedding records, but I'd say my adults shed four times a year. They also don't shed at regular increments (like every two months).

To some extent it depends on how much the animal is feeding and growing. I really wouldn't worry about it.
