Just got through our first shed with our BP.

Like i said just finished our first ever shed and it was a great success. But now i need some advice on when i start feeding her again. She hasn't eaten in 3-4 weeks.

Now. Our balls are usually ravenous after they shed.

I'm definitely not that experienced, especially on this topic, but my boy just finished shedding Sunday night and I fed him his normal sized prey item last night. Which he quite enthusiastically gulped down. It had only been 6 days since his last meal at that time... just one day over our normal 5 day feeding schedule. Dunno if that's kosher but that's how it worked out for us... there are a lot more experienced keepers here that can give you a better idea of the norm.:cool:

I tried to feed her today but she still will not eat. I am going to try again in a couple days. Hopefully with better results. I feed her f/t. She has taken them no problem before. I just wish she would eat.

I feed all of my snakes on a set schedule regardless of if they are in shed or not. If they miss a meal they just get fed again next feeding day.

Some snakes will eat while in shed, some won't. ;)

Hatchlings/Juveniles - 5 day schedule
Adults/Breeders - 7 day schedule

What's your husbandry like?
Any change?

And maybe try a live feeder to jump start the feeding response if your husbandry is ideal.
