In my limited experience, my females shed within one week of laying a clutch of eggs. For me it gives me a heads up for when to make sure the lay box is moist and ready for egg laying.

Good observation Sport. Females will shed prior to egg laying. With snakes that is the sighn you look for so you know to keep a heads up that she's going to lay eggs or give birth.
