Going into shed doesn't usually/always mean anything, unless of course she stays in blue for an extended period of time, and the male loses interest in her. I would just count on it being a regular shed cycle.

They say there's lots of pheremones asssociated with a freshly shed skin. I'd leave it in there afterward to see what happens. In fact, I'd spray it down with water if it dries out.
