I just read something a couple of weeks ago where a gravid female shed twice within a week right before laying.
So although it seems pretty rare it has happened and doesn't seem to have created any problem.
Apparently by the time she got ready to shed one layer she grew enough (lot of big eggs) to require another shed.
I think it should be just fine....I also think she may give you a nice big clutch...fingers crossed

Keeps us posted.
Can't wait to see how many she lays !!!
I still can't get over just how much larger then corn eggs my bairdi's eggs were.
The three big ones are bairdi eggs and the smaller egg is a corn snake egg.
They were laid on the same day and this picture was taken two days later.
