i have a 2/3 year old corn, about 3ft long. She has starded shedding every 3 weeks, is this normal?

the only thing i can think of the the guy who i got her off was feeding her mice that didnt leave any lump after she was fed. she now gets 1 large mouse every 7-10 days. could this be the reason?

She might be going through a growth spurt now she is on more food, so will shed at regular intervals until she is fully grown, and then the shedding process will slow down.

It also varies between snakes; I have 2 hatchlings born 2 days apart and one sheds every 33 days, and the other sheds every 43 days.
