Never had that happen. My females shed about ten days after parturition. You might have to look at how much you fed during gravidity, or other kind of stressors that cause snakes to shed, medication, stress, disease, etc. I would be inclined, but do not know for sure, that it is not a very good sign if she is shedding at the time that she should be giving birth. Please, if anyone else can shed some more light on this, do so. As I really do not have any answers, just guesses. Good luck.

Also are you 100% sure she is 104 days POS could you have mistaken ovulation with pre-ovulation. And did you allow her a hot spot of 95 degrees throughout the entire gestation? There are many factors to be considered.

Good luck
Bob
