New to the Kenya sand boa family
hey everyone I'm new to the Kenya sand boa family.
My juvenile Kenya sand boa started shedding on the 3rd of April and, I feed it every Wednesday. Should I wait till it's done shedding to feed it a pinky, or feed it a pinky anyways. Thanks for the help any info will be great.

Where is it in the shed cycle? If it's eyes have cleared, it may eat, but probably not if they're still blue. Either way, there's no harm in either offering or in waiting a week.
Male KSBs are notorious for going off feed, especially if/when they have girls on the brain, so don't panic if yours is male and does it to you some day. Both my boys are fasting right now, even though one is in the bedroom upstairs and our female is on the ground floor. [emoji849]

Exactly this. I've got snakes who will eat while blue and others who won't eat even after the eyes have cleared until they shed. The important thing to remember and I say this from experience is not to stress if they don't take a meal or two.

Expect to find shed within a few days then and you can try to offer food. Every snake is different when it comes to food so you may need to adjust your feeding schedule if they refuse while blue or getting ready to shed.
