    Critter keepers are really cheap.

    It really depends on the bp though, some will still eat, others might refuse. I'd say try. Don't you already have the live mouse anyways?

    I leave my bp alone. I don't want to stress it out by disturbing it during it's shed. I usually feed the day after it's done.

    Both my snakes eat during shed. They are just a little more shy about it.

    i fed my bp on monday and had an excellent feeding response. Im glad I waited till after his shed. He was kinda cranky before he shed (hissing a lot and balling up). im going to feed again on friday.
