Fasting and Shedding

My BP has just shed for the third time since she started fasting (last meal 200 days ago). I'm guessing that this is just related to getting fresh skin versus growing - am I right? This shed is only a month since her last one though, while there was quite a gap between sheds 1-2, so I'm curious.

This is the only BP I've ever had (really more into corn snakes) and she is a difficult eater - even for BPs. This is the third year I've had her. Her first year she fasted from Oct-Jun, the second year she did a little better, eating a couple of isolated meals during her fast but the last time she ate this year was Sept 16th. I've offered food about once a month, including last weekend but she is simply not interested. She's active, drinking and eliminating, so I'm not that concerned about her, and just figure she'll eat when she's ready - and it might not be until June.
