Not shedding?

My corn snake is about a year and a half, and she's doing absolutely great except for one thing. She hasn't shed in a really long time. She is looking healthy, she's alert and bright eyed, she's feeding well and she seems otherwise fine. I don't know what's really going on. Can anyone tell me?
 
How long has it been since she has shed?
Is she gaining weight? Loosing weight?

Generally, I wouldn't worry about it. She will shed when she needs to.

I say she last shed about 2 weeks or more ago. She doesn't seem to be gaining weight.

I'd say she is perfectly fine. If you were talking about several months, then I would say you have a problem. Two weeks is a short time span between sheds. They shed once every 4-6 weeks. Younger corns shed a little more often. So your good!

Only two weeks?
My snakes shed less than once a month.

Your snake is fine.
Snakes can go a long, long while in between sheds. :)
