    Only reason I was saying not to offer, is because its good for them to fully clean their system every once in a while.

    It's really no big deal, all up to you, it wouldn't hurt to skip a meal, and it wouldn't hurt to feed him.

    Yeah. I think neal has a good point. I knew most snakes wouldn't eat in shed, but I never thought about it as not offering. It seems the positives of not feeding out way feeding. That's a good point Neal. :) i probably won't feed during the next shed. My snake only eats two live hoppers. Until I get her switched over to frozen, I don't like the idea of feeding anything bigger if she is less defensive.

    I'm saying its up to you. It's not going to hurt to miss one, but if you feel like he's hungry go ahead and feed him. It's really not a big issue, but it's just a little safer not to feed him :) I woudn't worry either way.

    Well I feed every 7 days... but when my little girl goes through shed she does not eat for about a month, so after she sheds i feed her twice in that week, then go back to 7 days. Just my to $0.02

    Re: Question!?
    Reason I said what I did, is because in the wild they don't eat every single week, not to mention they can go months without eating. Plus if they're useto eating every week, skipping when they're in shedding gives them a little break and it increases the feeding response for the next feeding session.
