Do (and why do) snakes go into shed at laying?

I was told that females go into shed when laying. This seems counter-evolutionary to me. I would assume they would be more vulnerable at this time and would want to be in non-shed. Is this true, and does anyone know the biological reason for it? I find it quite fascinating.
