    Feed during molting
    I think my baby BRB is molting, his skin and eyes look opaque. He is due to eat today, should I try to feed him, it's been about ten days since he's eaten.

    Thank you

    It's up to you: some will eat while in shed, others will refuse so you'll be throwing the food away. Since it won't hurt one bit to let them wait, that's what
    I normally do. And also because some snakes just don't multi-task as well as others: both shedding and digesting uses up their hydration, so some snakes
    will have a messed up shed if trying to digest simultaneously while in shed.

    I dont feed my boas in shed, most wont eat anyway and it’s just a waist of food,so I’d wait till the shed is over won’t hurt for 10days anyway
    as bogertophis said it can actually mess up there shed
