Good on you for providing all that info for us. I wouldn't be too concerned just yet. Common signs of problem shedding are eyes milky constantly or flakey sheds or flakey scales. It seems you have not witnessed any signs of shedding or its behavior does not reflect common slough behaviour. I would suggest that its growth has slowed down. You could increase the food size if the feed does not create a decent buldge in its belly or if its poops are small and occuring only a few days after feeding. I have 4 yearlings at the moment about the same age and size as yours shedding every 5 - 6 weeks and they are feeding on large weaner rats or medium rats 1 every 14 days ish. Hope this helps.
