when they are younger as they are growing so much faster they usually shed in a 5-6week cycle but when they are older i think they only shed a few times a year,
someone who knows more about the shedding pattern when older will probably be able to help you more than i can though

My big boy is 7 years old, over 5 feet and sheds around 3-4 times a year.

all my adults shed about 3-4 times a year too, my males shed less frequently than my females as the girls go though more drastic bodily changes with breeding, being gravid and laying.........

Kellog sounds pretty similar in size and weight to your snake. He sheds every 6 weeks almost to the day.
