Boastud,
. What kind of snake are you asking about? If it is a Brazilian or Colombian Rainbow Boa the answer is that it is impossible to predict ovipostion dates based upon shedding dates. I have had them shed 2 to 4 times while gravid and lay babies many different numbers of days after shedding. I have even had them lay while opaque. If it is an Argentinian Rainbow I think that it is also impossible to correlate (I bet I spelled that word incorrectly) shed dates and ovipostion dates but I do not have enough data on ARB births to tell for sure.
Good Luck,
Jeff

in that you can figure when a female will drop by her shed cycles.
I have had females have babies 3 days after a shed, 3 weeks after, and even while almost completely 'blue'. Plus, I haven't been able to get any sensible relationship from post ovulation sheds either.
