Shedding while eating

[hypnotixdmp]

Is it ok? Hes going to want to get it all off and I need to get him back in his cage after he finishes the mouse. Dunno how to go about this situation, help!?!?!

Its alright to move

Put him back in his cage, he'll be alright...

[Daybreaker]

Is he in the process of shedding or did he clear up and he still needs to start? If he's in progress let him be until he's done, shouldn't take more than an hour. If he will shed soon (ie it's after his blue stage) then I'd go ahead and offer. BTW you don't need to feed outside the cage, most people prefer to feed inside as the snake is more comfortable and less likely to refuse.

Yeah I know about the inside of the cage thing....just a preference is all!!

The blue eye stage has already cleared up, I am watching him eat right now and noticed his old skin was starting to come off at his bottom lip, just didn't know if they act the same when it comes off as when they have blue eyes and don't want to be touched is all.



EDIT: He also started eating the mouse backwards and seems to be having trouble with it, I haven't seen him personally do it before, will it be ok?

[hypnotixdmp]

He is still trying to eat the mouse, it seems the back leg is not going into his mouth so hes having trouble eating it, what should I do if anything to help??

[hypnotixdmp]

No one has any input?

He'll be fine eating it. He'll just break the mouse's legs. My snakes eat their dinners backwards all the time. They eventually get the legs swallowed just fine.
