I am all ready to introduce my pastel male to my reg. girl. But my male pastel is just going into shed. Do i wait till he has shed or is it alright to introduce the still? Any and all advice is much appreciated thank you.

If it was me I would wait. I don't know if they cort females in the wild while in shed but I personally leave my snakes alone while they are in shed.
Cheers,
Trevor

I allow all my males who are in a 'project' to shed before introducing them to a female, and vice versa.

Esp if it's the female who is shedding I believe this can heighten sexual arousal by making a stronger scent... Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I personally do NOT breed males that are in shed. The same goes for females.

However, intoducing a male to a female right after she sheds can have immediate results. There is no resisting a freshly peeled female. If you get my gist.

Good luck!
