    That depends on how old they are. Juvenile anoles can easily shed every week while they are growing. Adults I believe only shed a few times a year.

    Like Cammy said, it all depends on the age. Juveniles are constantly growing so they will need to shed their skin frequently, whereas an adult's size isn't changing much so it doesn't need to shed as often.
