    Should I feed my Suriname BCC while she is at the end of she'd cycle?

    Hello all,
    My girl has been in blue and now is in her clear phase, ready to she'd her skin. She is looking like she is hungry. The last time I fed her was 14 days ago and was hoping I can give her a mouse this evening. Should I wait until she is fully shed?

    Feed her nothing. There is no reason she can't wait to eat after a shed. The process itself takes energy and so does constricting and digesting.

    Wait for the shed and feed within the next day or so.

    There is never an urgency to feed a healthy boa constrictor.
