Shedding/feeding?

This will be our 1st shed process, I've noticed her colors just went dull and her eyes are now almost all blue, I've been keeping her humidity in the mid 60's to around 72%. How long does the process take to shed? And her feeding is this Saturday should I try and feed her?

From this point I'd say in a few days, up to maybe a week, she'll shed. You can certainly try to feed while she's in shed...some will eat while in shed, some won't. If you feed live, it's no problem. Just pull the mouse/rat if she doesn't eat. F/T...you can try but if she refuses you'll have to re-freeze, which is generally okay to do once, but may result in a messier feeding next time.

Mid 70s isn't bad. I'd recomend putting damp moss into her hide that way she'll have higher humidity and will have easier time shedding.

Personally, I try not to feed mine once they start shedding. I figure they're already agitated with the shed. My normal girl don't eat at all once she starts but my Albino boy still eats like a pig (I feed them live) so I guess it just depends on each person (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Hope your snakey has a good shed.

Yep some will eat and some won't. Mine is just going into shed and didn't want to eat. The darn thing is in a paper bag in my freezer. Just sit back keep temp and humidity going and watch the process.

If it's normal feeding day, offer it. Some eat during shed some don't.

I feed the same day each week regardless of shed. If they eat they eat if they don´t they eat the next week.

The majority of the snake I have will eat when in shed and the only way for you to find out is try.
