At that age they can shed as often as every three weeks.
They grow FAST!

That is reassuring to know! My young male shed on 1st Jan, and has just started shedding again! I think he's going to be a big 'un!

Our female veiled Gizzy has shed three times now in the six weeks we`ve had her (today her third shed). It does seem to be a three weekly event for her. She also goes a little off her food and basks more when ready to shed - i was told that they shed every 4-5 weeks but it is really down to their individual growth rate.
