I bred my 4 year old 450g female corn with two of my males. She shed March 19th. I began introducing her to the males a few days later. I witness mating five times between her and the two males March 26th - March 30th (yes the males were in separate cages). She refused mating after that so I separated her to be alone. On April 13th she began to shed which she completed today March 17th.
What I want to know is if this is likely a pre-lay shed or is she fooling me by shedding so soon after her last shed?
I have the incubator set up in case. Please let me know!

Its most likely a prelay shed. If you want to be sure though, give her a crawl through your fingers. You should be able to feel each egg as it passes through your fingers. She should also look fairly triangular and her belly scales should look very round. Its pretty noticeable.

She was huge to begin with. She is clearly showing signs of growth, but I also believe her past owners may have underfed her. So I am thinking it could be weight gain. The scales show very little gain. Maybe a gram or two. This is also my first possible sucessful pregnancy.

Well if you cant see it in her physical appearance then you should be able to feel it. Lay your hand flat on a table, palm side up, and spread out your fingers. Let her slither over your fingers in a perpendicular fashion. You should be able to feel each egg. And if that doesnt work then you can palpate her.

Put a lay box in with her and give it 7 to 10 days normally and the fun begins.Got my first corn clutch to of 9 eggs from 2 of my Amels.
Good luck and be patient.

Ditto to both Nate and Louie. Give her a box and cross your fingers and wait!
