My young marcianus is in shed again,he last shed on the 31/5 and is now in clear phase after two day with blue eyes.Is this normal for a snake to shed so regularly or is he shedding regularly enough?

Let's see, you got Garry on 15/5, shed on 31/5 and in shed phase again.
Sounds like you are doing well for the little man. Nothing unusual here in my opinion.
Just a growing young snake.

He's really coming along great.I also noticed his neck is thickening and he seems to be putting on weight and length [I knew garters grow quick but he takes the biscuit]:D

My baby easterns...two months old...shed almost once a week at this point. Everytime I look in the enclosure...I find another shed! I think it's just babies growing rapidly. It's as if they are taking turns...they shed one at a time and as soon as the last one sheds...the first one is getting ready to shed again!

Sheds are not a very accurate way to measure. They can be long or short of the actual length.;)

Yeah, sheds can actually stretch quite far, where do you think the stories of the 40ft Anacondas come from when locals would find their sheds.
