Well, seriously, maybe this is a long-lost "instinct" that has been disappearing among all the captive-bred ball pythons, but happened to show up in yours?

Busy people can be remarkably UN-curious when you're talking about a shed that might be lost under substrate...they never consider it might have been ingested.
Yours is probably NOT the first BP to do this.
