I know some lizards eat their shed, which probably helps them recycle important nutrients. So I could understand an article that recommends leaving any uneaten shed in a lizard's enclosure, to give them a chance to eat it.

I can't think of a reason why you'd do it with snakes.
The only reason I do it for snakes is to promote breeding other than that I can think of no reason to leave it in with them. To me it looks unclean and very unprofessional to open a tub and have a load of skin in with them.
