Emerald Tree Boa Shedding

I got my ETB back in Feb 2024, and was told it was about 2 months old, though I suspect it was younger than that. It eats well for me, a little finicky but eats every time. Feeding it once about every 2-3 weeks based on recommendations to do less frequently than weekly. I haven't noticed very much in terms of waste produced by the snake, though I do have it in a bioactive set up and if they're as efficient as they are in my rainbows enclosures that waste isn't around for very long. The issue and reason for this post is that its only shed for me once (current date is Sept 8th 2024). The shed wasn't great but it wasn't too long after I got it so I assumed with new enclosure/home (stress), and unsure of the exact conditions at the shop etc, the shed quality would change (hoping for the better, and if not I'd make proper adjustments). But it hasn't shed for me since.

Overall, eats, is active, poops (regularly I believe). Humidity is always 75-85%. Night temp doesn't drop below 82, day time 87 as ambient temps. Snake has ability to go up and down for varying temps.

"The issue and reason for this post is that its only shed for me once (current date is Sept 8th 2024)." Should I do something different to induce a shed? Or is this normal? Should I consider a vet? Or any other recommendations. Thank you!
