    I usually wait about 3 days before I offer food. Be sure to offer a small meal the first few feedings to allow the digestive system to get used to processing food again.

    Hi,

    Did you remember to wash her and everything else after you took the eggs away?

    I have been known to offer that night after removing them and washing everything down but I normally wait till the next day just to let them settle back down and de-stress.

    If it has been a while since she ate start with a smaller than normal prey item so it's a more gently restart of her digestive system. Once you know she is digesting ok then it's fine to feed her back up for a bit.

    Watch out though as her feeding response might have gone into hyperdrive. :P

    Laying a clutch turned a shy drop feeder of mine into a strike feeding savage. :banana: :banana:

    I don't offer until after their next shed usually. Before that and it is about 50/50 whether or not they will take food.

    I wash her and the enclosure good and then feed on their regular scheduled feeding day,
