Lots of things will dictate shedding frequency, amount of food intake, growth, injury etc..

Young snakes on a heavy feeding schedule can shed every 30-45 days, adults usualy shed 3-4 times a year.

Blueing is a sure sign she will shed, look at the eyes, if and when they turn blueish white, that will tell you she is right in the middle of her shed cycle, expect a complete shed some 4-7 days later. Keep her enclosure a little more humid then usual, this will ease her shed...
