Shed question

My Ball just started her 1st shed with me. Her eyes are back to normal and her skin is starting to come off her head. My question is if I feed her will she eat now it has been 3 weeks without. :snake:

You normally wouldn't feed while a snake is in the process of shedding...how about letting her finish and then feed? :confused:

I would wait until she is done shedding, many snakes will not eat until they are out of their skin and you might end up wasting the food. I believe they need a little time to relax after they shed, as their new skin is soft and has to harden up. Waiting another day isn't gonna hurt her.
