Changing substrate during shed question

[Redsandjunkie]

My ball python appears to be in the early stages of the shed cycle since she's been in hiding for the last few days and it's been a while since I changed the substrate in her tank. Is there any way that I can change the substrate without stressing her out, or will I just have to wait until she's finished?

I'd just wait until she's finished. She's likely to poop when she sheds anyways.

Make that X3. I've had 5 shed out this week and 4 of them defected and urinated at the time of shedding, the 5th one held off till the next day.
