>>>>Couple of questions. Will kingsnakes generally refuse food during gestation? Does it normally take about 4 weeks between a hookup to when the eggs are laid and will they usually shed right before laying?
>>

And yes there is a "pre egg laying shed"
The time between this shed and eggs being laid depends on the nesting area provided. The shorter the time the better.
I have yet to get eggs before 4 days after a pre egg laying shed but 7 is typical. The TFH books and caresheets say 10 to 14.....
