    Many thanks for your thoughts, expert grammarians.
    According to my authoritative resource, saying,"My snake is going into shed", is grammatically correct. In this statement, the word "shed" is used as a verb, to describe an action, or state of being.



    If you consider "in shed" to be a place, then it would be used as a noun, and still grammatically correct, as it would then become the subject of the statement.



    In the statement, "This is a shed skin", it is used as an adjective to directly describe the skin.



    And, if these videos made you go , that's an interjection...
