do you feed while in shed?

I always tended not to; it seemed stressful to them. But I have tried before, and the snakes sometimes took it, sometimes did not. I am just wondering what everyone else does.

No I do not. Mostly because of the very small chance of serious complications. I see no value in risking the health and well being of my snakes for no reason. A missed meal here and there is not a concern.

Depends on the snake. Some of mine won't eat, some will.

Nah mine's kinda picky, and I don't want to have to hold onto a feeder till she sheds.
They usually have a great feeding response after shedding, they must get hungry!

Yeah; this is what I figured. I will keep my old non-feeding-while-in-shed habits. Now this new normal that I have needs to shed! She's clearing up now; should be soon. :)

Depends on the snake and the stage of shed. Deep blue they'll only get offered if it's f/t.

i guess im lucky, i still have yet to get a picky eater, (knockonwood)
mine eat like little horses.

Bingo. Each snake is different. But missing a meal here and there is perfectly fine. Once they blue, I typically just raise the humidity and leave them be.

I nevrr do, my YB will take while in blue though. The only reason i dont is for my records, i weigh when they shed so i try to make sure theyre as empty as possible. The minute i see pink i stop feeding.
