Corn snakes, like all other snakes, shed their outer layer of skin periodically throughout their lives. Young snakes may shed more frequently than adult snakes, but in general the shedding process occurs several times a year. This is nothing to worry about as a keeper, but there are a few things you can do to help your snake through this process. for more info check 'thecornsnake.co.uk'
No, eels do not shed their skin like snakes. Eels have a slimy mucus layer on their skin that helps protect them from parasites and bacteria, but they do not shed their skin. Instead, their skin grows with their body and they may appear darker or lighter depending on their environment.
Snakes shed their skin to allow for growth and to remove old or damaged skin. Shedding also helps remove parasites and any debris that may be stuck to their old skin. It is a natural process that allows snakes to maintain a healthy and functioning outer layer.
No, snakes do not shed piece by piece. Instead, they shed their entire outer layer of skin in one piece. This shedding process is called ecdysis and usually occurs in one continuous shedding process.
Snakes and owls both eat mice.

shed
As snakes grow the skin doesn't grow with them, so they shed the skin because it no longer "fits" them. By shedding the skin they can get larger, and grow.
Sometimes they do - it depends on the age of the snake, and when they last shed. More often than not - they find a secluded place to shed, as they can't see predators very well at that time.

Yes they do ! A snakes skin, while flexible, doesn't expand as they grow like ours does. Periodically, they have to shed the old skin in order to grow. They also shed to aid in repairing wounds to their skin too. Young snakes shed more often (sometimes every two months) than older snakes because most of their growing is done while they're young - just as we do. Therefore they need to shed more often. An adult snake of five years or so - may only shed once a year (or even less !) My oldest Royal Pythons only shed roughly every 16 months - yet their babies shed every seven to eight weeks !
