    Well if a 30 year reptile veteran says something I listen, and thought others might also. Especially when that veteran is highly respected by EVERY respectable breeder out there.

    I believe that shedding problem is complete bull. Hes in Cloudy eye stage, which means hes not going to shed for at least 3-4 days if not a week, so he has plenty of time to digest the meal. I don't understand why your trying to convince us all an extremely, extremely rare occurrence is something we all have to worry about. If you snake eats while in shed, feed it, mine usually don't but some will. The snake knows what to do so let it do its job.

    Sorry the expert has spoken, I will keep advice to myself... hmm if everyone else does the same the forum will be of no use. Keep in mind everyone that likes quoting me like I made this up, I have posted the original quote from someone way more qualified than anyone that has disagreed with it. Also I never said it is a MUST NOT to do it, I said it is a good practice not to do it. People need to relax on here.
