    You can feed them immediately after shedding, as long as they got it all off. Really it is the eyecaps that matters, I think, because I think the reason they are reluctant to eat during shed is due to reduced visibility. As Pit on the Prowl said, you CAN feed them even in deep shed. I do all the time. Some eat, some don't. But, since your snake is already refusing, I'd wait until after the shed to reduce the number of complications.

    Side note: The above applies to BPs only. I also have corn snakes, and they appear to have an increased incidence of regurges if they eat during shed. I've never seen nor heard anything to indicate BPs have that problem though.

    Not sure I understand the question. No, it is not ok to keep a live mouse in the tank with the snake. No, it is not ok to keep an f/t mouse in the tank, which would rapidly rot.

    My baby boy is doing a lot better. I made him two new hides that he loves. he just came out of a shed, and he ate immediately after he shed. the only thing is that on the top of his head there is some shed left. there was a small wound on his head from before which is make it hard for it to come off. Other than that he is doing well thank you all for your help.
