    Feeding advise
    I wanted to get some input regarding this. My 1 year ball who up until this January has been a constant eater has been fasting for 4 weeks now. For this last feeding, her eyes had turned...she is going into a shed, but has not actually shed yet.

    My question, should I stick to the regular feeding schedule regardless of the shed, or wait until after she is done. I wouldn't normally fret it, but because she hasn't eaten for a bit (she has lost little or no weight) I am anxious to get her to eat ASAP but not screw it up by being too anxious. Thoughts?

    Some snakes will eat during the shedding process and others won't. I prefer to wait until after they've shed to feed my snakes.

    I feed during shed, but I'd guess if yours has been unwilling to eat, they're less likely to eat during shed, so may as well wait.
