Ezekiel I think that is not right.
But you are right there is a small risk of when the shed starts if there is a not completely digested rat in the belly of the beast (sorry could not help myself) the shed may not fit over the 'lump' and get stuck there causing stress. The worst case is that the shed starts to dry out and shrink tightening over that area and causing problems with circulation/ respiration that could become quite serious. Rare but has happened. It is not a problem for a snake to skip a meal or two, the risk of a skipped meal doing harm is less than a meal during shed. It is not worth taking a chance for something so trivial.
