Feed her while in shed?

[foxhill85]

Should I wait till she is done shedding? Her eyes just turned cloudy yesterday.

Some will eat while in shed some won't.

if she'll eat, so be it. If not, after the shed. It doesn't hurt to try.

I usually wait until shedding's over because I feed f/t and I waste it if she doesn't eat it. If you want to, go ahead. I've had some eat while in shed before.

Feeding during shed

[kitedemon]

Some snakes will eat during a shed however late in a shed the old skin becomes less elastic and if a large meal was offered the snake may not be able to get the shed over the meal lump and that can lead to all kinds of issues. Generally I don't offer during a shed and if I was too I'd go very small. It is not common at all but it has happened.

I had this happen with my pastel, ever since I take them off food as soon as they turn opaque. He ended up with this tight band of skin right above his stomach, that I had to cut off he ended up very stressed, and I ended up helping him finish that shed.

It isn't common but it does and has happen. if you do decide to feed go very small. personally I'd not bother unless there was a good reason to.
