Feeding when close to shed

humidity hasn't been to much of a problem because i run a steam humidifier in my room plus the enclosure has a dish built into the hide on the hot side then also have a water dish on the cool side, planned on doing the warm bath thing on friday night. thanks everyone for the tips and suggestions i appreciate it

One the blue clears up, then it will be 2-3 days, but the opaque stage will last a decent while. I'd say about a week or so, give or take a few days.

Yeah, I meant after it clears...

Along with making the scales softer and easier to come off. By the end of the bath hopefully he will be happy :) Also hope I helped at all :D

I would not soak him prior to shedding.

If you're having trouble raising the humidity in your enclosure, make him a humid hide.

If your humidity levels are already fine, and you've verified this with a hygrometer, leave the snake alone until he's shed. Aside from ensuring he has correct humidity, he doesn't need any help with the process.

If it's in blue you can go ahead and offer a soaked rodent. If it denies it you'll know for next time.

I leave it up to the individual snake. I feed every Monday night (once it's dark). If the snake eats great, if not they wait til next Monday night.
Hope this helps

Well he ate, he is even more blue today, but no hesitation on eating, got his enclosure all cleaned up and new Acurite therm installed, maybe he will shed soon so he gets those nice colors back, thanks everyone for your input!

Well he shed today about 95% complete.. Should I do anything to help him with the rest?
