Do your balls eat when they're blue? (Pre-shed)
I just had a scare the other day... my big normal girl hasn't refused a meal since her annual fast that ended in February... I was so disappointed the other day when she refused, but today she went blue, so, in all technical senses, the refuse doesn't count against her streak of no refusals! :banana:
Anyways, I'm just curious. Do the majority of your snakes eat before a shed?
I'm excited to see whether or not my blood does... somehow I think he will... :P

Depends on the snake.
Blasted title! Making my head hurt with demented images! :O

No, mine just hurt. xD
But for real, none of my snakes eat when blue or in shed or even thinking about shedding.

I think mine are so conditioned for feeding every week, it doesn't matter to them if they are in full blue or any stage of shedding - they'll feed. It's rare that I have a refusal.

I like alot of people have snakes that will eat anything any time any where no questions asked. Then I have some that need a little soft light, some slow music, and no interruptions before they even think about eating.
Two types of snakes
1: The Chinese Buffet, any time any where as much as you can spare
2: The Teen Girl, You know they eat you just never see it cause they wait till no one is looking.

since i switched to asf's they always eat in blue. even when they seem to be completely blind. i usually hold the rat by the tail ( with my forceps) close to the but for better control. if i don't ,they tend to go crazy because they want it but cant find it long enough to catch them. then i hold in near its face in just the right spot and WHAM! when the snake strikes i let go. the rest is history.

Usually I don't offer food during shed. I just wait till they are finished and ready for a meal...
