    Snake in shed, should I feed?

    Todays feeding day, so after I got my cinny ready I got my pastel ready. When I took his hide off of him I noticed he was DULL. His eyes are kind of cloudy, but still have colour to them. Should I bother feeding him this week, or should I wait untill he is done shedding?

    If he will eat I would feed him. Some will eat in shed some won't but there is no reason not to let him eat if he will.

    Yes defiantly if he is willing to take it, but if he backs down or any sort of defensive motion, i wouldn't especially if your feeding live your snake could get hurt.
