1st: My Albino 160 grams has eaten 3 rat pups since last weighed. He shed after the first rat pup but didn't defecate. He gets fed Friday, he looks slightly backed up. Should I soak him a bit before the next feeding or will he just go when he's ready? Should I feed him Friday or get him to defecate first?
2nd: My Pied has eaten 6 rat pinkies since I've gotten her. She's going into her first shed with me. Tried to feed yesterday and she struck once but then showed no interest. Her eye caps are totally covered up so I can understand why she may not be eating. My other 2 snakes will eat during shed without issue. I know some snakes will not eat during shed and I'm sure there's no issue here but just hearing it from someone will make me feel a little better.
I worry about my snakes a little to much.
