Bugs, mites, injuries, or he could just be growing quickly.
You'll need to provide more info(enclosure, substrate, other symptoms, temperatures, feeding regimen, etc)...

The feeding schedule would explain why its shedding so much, I too think you should cut down. My adult breeders don't get that much too eat. I would stick to 1 or 2 a week & thats still plenty. Mark

My cali king shed for the first time last week, since I've had him and it came off in one piece so I saved it! He's such an awesome snake, my first at that! He's got a good temperment and he's not jumpy. I try to hold him every day if not every other!
