both of them just mate about 2 week ago and now both of them waiting to shed their skin(normally only female does that right!)wish me luck guys.

Hey,
These two bloods were going to shed whether they bred or not, as this was just coincidently, their time to shed. The female however, will have a pre-lay shed (If she is gravid), about 21-29 days prior to egg laying. Males will not go into a shed, just because they have bred, but they will sometimes breed while in shed, and will also, breed females in shed.

both females and males will shed

Hey,
His question was will both male and female, shed during breeding, indicating that the female is now gravid. The answer to that should be NO! (Both animals shedding at the same time is purely coincidental). Shedding is a normal process, however, the fact that the male and the female are in shed, right at about the time that they both bred, does not guarantee a successful breeding. Both animals will shed as a matter of course, but will not matter either way. If the female is gravid, she will shed again prior to egg laying (Pre-lay-shed), 21-29 days before egg laying.

Note: Watch for the females Ovulation which should be a good indication that she is gravid; particularly if she goes off feed and refuses to eat for 8 weeks or more.
