Its very normal for a snake with a mite problem (current or past) to shed several times in quick succession to repair the damage the mites are causing. Once the mite treatment is successful and the damage stops then the shedding will level out to normal. Normal being Royal normal, so whenever they feel like it to keep us confused. lol.
