Nice observation. I've heard the same thing from other breeders. I'd speculate that in the wild, a baby snake would eat whenever food is available and not follow the "must shed first rule."

I reckon there's a number of well-accepted "rules" (the "3 years old, 3 feet long, 300 grams in order to be ready to reproduce" thing comes to mind) in regards to the breeding of Corn Snakes that don't necessarily match up to reality.
