    how soon after shedding should i try and feed my bp
    i know during the shedding process pb"s usually dont eat but how soon after shedding would be a good time to try and feed it. my bp is about 5 days past her normal feeding date due to her shedding. she just finished shedding should i try and feed her now or wait a day or two?

    It all depends on your snake. Some of my bps eat while in shed and one tends not to. I usually wait 5 days to offer to that one. You could offer a meal, if you're feeding f/t and it doesn't eat, just throw it back in the freezer. I don't ever re-freeze more than once though.

    I usually feed right after the shed is completed IF that is when it is time for her to eat. I think it takes some energy for them to crawl out of their skin and if its been the 7 days she usually has a good apetite & has yet to refuse a meal at this time:hungry:.

    I usually will feed 2 days after a shed. Since mine normally shed at night, the day after is usually spent cleaning the shed, poo, and urates out of the enclosure, then I feed the next day...

    If the eyes are clear I feed.
