Is it normal for an Adult Pine to shed twice within 20 days?

Hello. I have a young adult Northern Pine Snake. In the last year, he grew 5" and now measures 63" (5'3"). He recently went for a 6 month period without shedding. He just shed about 20 days ago. After his shed, I only fed him one meal, and now he is shedding again! I just have a couple questions:

Is this normal for an Adult Northern Pine Snake?

If so, does this mean that he is having a growth spurt?
