Will a female breed while going through shed??

[grunt_11b]

I was wondering if a female that is blue and about to shed still breed?? I've never heard anyone ask this so I thought why not.. I have a big girl that is blue ( I know I can wait) But I was pairing snakes and wondered if it would be ok to put a male with her??

there was someone who asked this same question like.. yesterday? the day before? And the responses from breeders was YES pre-shed is a great time to introduce a male to her, the theory is that being close to shed makes a girl more receptive to a male, kind of calms them down a bit or something.
