Pre-live birth shed?

Hi, do rainbow boas have pre-live birth shed? I mean like the 10 day pre-laying shed of colubrids? Thanks.

There is no pre-lay shed for rainbows. Instead, look for signs of restlessness or lying on sides or belly. Females will usually exhibit these behaviors starting about two weeks before they give birth.
