What does this shed mean?

[Lolo76]

One of my girls, Nerissa, has been hooking up with Toby since November... she's also been on a fast since before then, in fact she's NEVER eaten for me (I bought her in October). She's still quite plump and surprisingly hasn't lost much weight, so I went ahead with the breeding plans.

Anyway, she hadn't shed since 10/22, and is in full shed right now. Does this have any "role" in the breeding process, or is it just a regularly scheduled shed... despite the fact that she's been off feed for 3.5 months? I don't think it's the pre-ovulation shed quite yet, since I haven't seen any signs of follicle development - not that I know anything about it, seeing as I'm a first-time breeder. Is there a pre-follicle shed?? Here's her iHerp page, and I'd appreciate any input on where she might be at: http://www.iherp.com/HerpTrack/Track...AnimalID=32242

P.S. She was also recently introduced to two other boys, just to see if they had any interest yet (I'm short on the ladies, LOL)... no copulations observed, but ya never know.
