shedding habbits for corn snakes?

I recently bought my snake a little less than a month ago. He is about five foot two, so I'm guessing He's around two or three years old. He had shed the first time about a week we got him (april 20th) and now his colour is dulling again and his eyes are once again milky like he's about ready to shed. Is this normal? If not, is this a symptom of some kind of illness?
 
Seems typical of a shed approaching, I would think its anything to worry about.
Just make sure temps/humiditiy etc are correct.
 
id keep an eye on him.......was his last shed in pieces or full.does he have any bumpy/scarring/blistering skin.it could be just a normal shed but a snake that size usually doesnt shed this often

I'd also not expect an adult snake to shed every month. Have you checked for mites? The irritation can cause snakes to shed more frequently

I agree, something seems amidst. Just keep a eye on it. Might be just a growth spurt from good feeding.
