Re: Handling While Shedding?
you can handle them but they get really irritated and defensive as they cant see very well so handle with caution.

Re: Handling While Shedding?
You can handle the snake, but it usually stresses the snake out even more. When snakes are in blue, they are a bit stressed so that's why some snakes will strike and hiss when they are shedding because they don't want to be bothered. And when snakes get stressed out, they will not have a great shed that comes out in one piece. You can handle, but try to handle as little as possible.

Re: Handling While Shedding?
I like to give my snakes some alone time while they are shedding. It is just easier on their nerves. Mine don't even come out of their ball when they are in blue...so they are kind of boring to hold
Stress is not a factor on how the shed will go though, humidity and proper husbandry is.

Re: Handling While Shedding?
Stress has no factor on how the shed will be, proper humidity and husbandry are the factors that affect the shed. also most of them will not eat during there shed cycle and like to be left alone and stay under there hides during the entire cycle.

Re: Handling While Shedding?
Mine are fine with handling, but since they cant see anything, they just sit there when I do handle them, so I realy dont bother them for nothing anymore. My female even eats with blue eyes, the male 1/2 the time he will eat with blue eyes.
