Do you feed your BP when they are in shed?

Just wondering if people here feed when their BPs are in shed? I went and got food today, and went to weigh my snakes before feeding and discovered that Alexander (spider) is heavy into shed. His eyes are fully clouded. I am planning to start pairing him with one of my females in the next week or 2, so I want to keep his strength up. Any advice?

Depends on the snake. All my snakes eat just fine while in shed. Offer and see what happens!

Same as kaorte

The onl;y way to find out if your BP will eat or not while in shed is by offering food.

I feed mine on schedule shed or not and I would say that only a handful will refuse while in shed.

My guy likes to eat during shed so yes I do.

I don't have any problems with mine, all of them eat while in shed.

me too!

I feed all my snakes on saturday and sunday so if ones in shed I will offer food and usually they take it I dont have many that refuse food even in shed

Same as most everyone...feed no matter. Sometimes (very rarely) will one refuse.

I feed no matter what! I will even offer food to females the day after they lay eggs to see if they are hungry yet. Its not the end of the world if you have a spare rat!
