Feeding Question

So I was cleaning Temu's enclosure just now and noticed his eyes have finally capped for his shed, We normally feed him on saturdays, should I still try to feed him or skip this week? We feed live if that makes any difference....

Once the eye caps shed I feed on the next scheduled date. Usually they are hungry!

If he'll eat, let him eat if you want. Some eat in shed while others don't. But if he's in good condition, it won't hurt him to skip a feeding either. So its really up to you.

I guess I will just have to wait and see how he is acting in the morning, so far he is acting like the same chill little dude, I am sure that will change in the next couple of days.

Pretty much what he said. If I'm inclined I'll throw a prey item in the tank if I have one laying around. If they don't show interest I'll take it out. If not, next week it is. Depends on if I have feeders in the "feed tank" or not too. I feed live also and buy enough to last 2-3 weeks so I have a feeder tank. All my snakes are on a 2-5 week feeding schedule depending on the snake.

offer it and if he wants to eat he will.
