    Should I still feed her?

    My Baby 8 month old female ball had a pink stomach ( i posted last weekish)
    and i got feedback that she was entering the shedding phase...it has been days now and i have the humidity between 65-70 daily. She hasn't began shedding yet, or anything of the sorts. She just seems a lot more inactive.

    I am supposed to feed her on Friday and I don't know if i should even attempt it... :/ any help?

    thanks,
    Andrew

    Re: Should I still feed her?

    In my thus-far-educated opinion, you should ALWAYS offer your snakes food on their regular schedule, whether they're fasting, shedding, or just being difficult. The only time you should Not offer food is when the vet says no because the snake is injured or ill.

    In time, everyone learns each snake's preferences. Some will eat no matter what all year round. Others will only refuse when in shed. It's best to just try try try and see what happens.

    Can't hurt to try...

    If she takes the food....GREAT

    If not, there's always next week

    All 3 of my snakes readily accept food during a shed
