Ball python shedding as I write! When should I try to feed?
I tried to feed my ball python a week ago from today and he refused food. He was into the shed cycle and also he never ate frozen before. I also tried live and he wouldn't take at that.
So right now he is shedding a perfect shed and half way done. I want to know when I should attempt to feed him again? Later tonight when his shed it done? Tomorrow? Next week?
Let me know
Re: Ball python shedding as I write! When should I try to feed?
I think you can feed him as soon as he's done shedding. I'm such a noob because my snake shed about 3 days ago, I thought he was in shed but then for some reason or another I thought I was mistaken and he wasn't really shedding, so I actually fed him the day before he shed lol, oops, he ate though, so I think right after is fine.

they generally will take a meal pretty eagerly after a shed. so after hes done go ahead and he or she should go right after it.

if mines are going into shed i skip that week also if they shed they will eat as scheduled.

Well he got done shedding. I did some pre-scenting of the room. Thawed the hopper and did a little blow dryer on it. Boom!!!!!! The snake grabbed it like it was it's job. Thanks for the advice!

it's always good to hear that they ate.
