There may just be the "final preparations" going on inside; the bebies are already fully developed. One theory I heard about the pre-birth shed is that it clears the vent area of debris, allowing for the babies to pass out more easily.

the babies grow off of what mama snake has stored in fat from eating so much in her early pregnancy stages... thats why it's always good to feed them extra during gravidity and after they have their babies.. ever notice how thin a mama snake is after she gives birth??! she puts everything shes got into the little ones
