    Extra active/skittish after shed?
    Hey everyone, my snake just had her first shed with me (whole story here http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...and-Snake-pics!) anyways, shes now extra active but very skittish easily scared, is that common at all? (her eye caps came off with the skin) she ate for me tuesday (but only one mouse not the two she usually does) and tommorow would be her next feeding day. Im thinking it is she is just hungry because she didnt eat her usual while shedding, so i just wanted some expert advice on whether the extra jumpiness isnt related to the shed and is mainly a hunger thing, thanks!

    Mine show a marked increase in appetite after they shed. Most of them will eat while they are in shed, but after they shed they become downright greedy.

    That must be what it is, i have a mouse thawing. Im kind of excited that she is extra greedy because i want to see a gnarly strike haha (I use F/T but and usually takes her time to strike, so hopefully this ones intense haha)

    EDIT: you were absolutely right, she was out of her hide before the mouse was even dangling near the bottom of her enclosure and she struck about 5 seconds later, i guess she was hungry haha. not as gnarly as i hoped for but glad she still was excited about eating haha
