Handling In Shed

[TheHabit]

How soon after you know your BP is in shed do you stop handling?/What stage of shedding do you stop handling?

[sg1trogdor]

I dont stop but thats just me and my snake. She doesnt seem to mind it she will even eat if offered even when deep in blue. Not recommending it to anyone but thats just my situation.

Mine stress out if handled when in blue. I stop handling when I see them getting darker before they go blue.

I handle my bp during a shed cycle pink belly included, in light blue sometimes, but I give him space once his eyes have really clouded.

Hey Missi- where the heck have you been?! Missed ya!!

[dsirkle]

I leave my snakes alone during a shed except to offer food which is occasionally refused.

[starmom]

I don't handle when in deep blue.

i dont really handle after their eyes start getting cloudy, i dont want them to get stressed from not being able to see me that well, just seeing a huge object coming towards them haha but then again i haven't had my bp's that long so they're not that used to me yet. but i try to leave them alone until the shed is complete.

I have too many snakes to mess with my snakes while in blue... if ones in blue I just pull out another ... Mine dont leave their hides when theyre in shed so thats a good enough reason for me to leave them alone.

i usually handle mine when her eyes are blue. but she has been gettin cranky about it so i just wait till she sheds now. she is prettier in her new skin anyway.
