Shed question

[pascofishboy]

My Ball just started her 1st shed with me. Her eyes are back to normal and her skin is starting to come off her head. My question is if I feed her will she eat now it has been 3 weeks without.

You normally wouldn't feed while a snake is in the process of shedding...how about letting her finish and then feed?

I would wait until she is done shedding, many snakes will not eat until they are out of their skin and you might end up wasting the food. I believe they need a little time to relax after they shed, as their new skin is soft and has to harden up. Waiting another day isn't gonna hurt her.
