    Feeding during shed?

    My snake is obviously in the middle of a shed (he's all dull and he got a small piece of skin off of his nose and eyes already) and I'm wondering if it's a good idea to attempt to feed him now (f/t) since he's scheduled to eat every friday?

    Sometimes they eat, sometimes they dont. I have better luck waiting until towards the end of the "blue" when their eyes begin clear

    Okay. He's already out of the blue, so I guess I'll just try my luck with feeding him then thank you!

    Depends on the animal the only to find out is to try.

    The majority of my animals eat while in shed (regardless of the stage)
