So, I know snakes normally don't eat while shedding...

Tali apparently never got that memo. I've never had her refuse a feeding, I got a pig instead of a python.


She was 106 grams and 16 inches on the 16th, now over a month later, she's about 200 grams and 22inches and now she's shedding again. Yayyy, the baby is growing.

Some do, others don't. With mine it's about 50:50.

Congrats on a getting a BP that like to eat. Hopefully she will stay that way!

Haha, thank you! I'm pretty happy with the eating like a pig. :) My first snake, a KSB, was never a steady eater and I got her to eat maybe four times in the months I owned her (about seven) and.. yeah. It was just a disaster and not a happy ending :/ Needless to say, I'm happy this one eats f/t, and eats it like a champ no matter what. I took her home with me last weekend because I felt uncomfortable leaving her that long (nearly six days), and I wasn't 100% sure she'd eat in a new place, and uh, no- she ate justtttttt fine even though it was a new place and a different tank.

I've actually never had any of my animals refuse a meal even while in shed. That's not to say my three new ones won't. I've not had my Black Pastel, Bumblebee & Normal long enough to have them go into shed on me yet.

mine ate while in shed, and i actually woke up to an almost perfect shed this morning :) but yes they do grow fast its great
