do you feed while in shed?

Think you should've specified "Do you feed live while in shed?"

Because I do F/T and offer every 5 days, if they take it great, if not its no biggy. But I can totally see how having impaired vision would be a reason not to feed live during shed.

I feed while in shed, f/t, unless they are notorious non feeders when in shed. Most of my snakes do well eating regardless shed or not.

My boys won't, but the girls will definitely go for it in blue.

BPs don't need vision to feed. Blind and eyeless BPs feed just fine.
They mainly use their heat pits and sensory to detect prey.

But anyway, I don't feed in shed. I used to, but not any more.
Some of my snakes will take them, but most will not. It doesn't hurt the snake to wait a few days for their meal.

I feed f/t, so snakes that are shedding get offered their meals first. If they don't want to eat, one of the less picky boas or king snakes will happily chow down. If a shedding snake does eat, I just need to warm up another rat for one that isn't shedding.

Feeding in shed isn't a problem with many of our animals as we prescient the room so it makes for super strong feeding responses in most of the animals.

I feed my snakes live on the same day every week and sometimes they are in shed. They dont seem to habe a problem and eat just fine at all stages of shedding.

I used to, but stopped a while back. Once I see them going into shed I won't offer. I just let them relax.:gj:

Depends on the snake, usually no, but I'll offer with some if I'm feeding everyone anyway.

My boy eats like a champ when in shed however I've never seen his eyes cloudy. All I see his color is a little dull then next thing I know there's his old skin in a pile.
