I'm curious as well about using shed skins for breeding. Does it trigger something, in the male and, or females? Is it just a superstition kind of thing? I'm dying to know!...LOL
I usually just throw them away, however my 4-4.5 ft bp (named: Balthazar, A.K.A: Mega) had a really nice solid shed, but it was wet, which made the skin soft enough to stretch out without it tearing into pieces, so I stretched it out, and put it on my front porch to dry while I was at work, sadly when I came home ants' had completely demolished it so now I just throw them away.
