Nah - not really - just good advice from the fine folks here on caring for ball pythons! :rockon:

I don't have a single snake that refuses because of being in shed. I have very few refusals... and none for a couple of months (knock on wood)... I have close to 40 snakes and they all eat in shed with regularity.

I have heard of many other snakes that won't eat in shed... no biggie.. :) Either way, just do what's right for your snake.

Feed if it is time!! Sheds sometimes do effect feeding, but some eat no matter what!

My BP and corn have both eaten during a shed. Though I know people whose snakes don't eat. No harm in trying, and if he doesn't take it, wait for the shed to be over and try again.
