    Feeding in Blue
    Hey guys so my 250 gram normal girl just started her blue, and was wondering if i should feed her tomorrow.

    Some snakes will just not eat while in blue, but it wouldn't hurt to try. I try with mine who go blue/are in blue, sometimes they take and sometimes they refuse and the feeder goes to someone else.

    I'm not an expert, but I can't see why it would hurt to offer.. I offered in the same position and he took it.

    I have some that will eat no matter what, and others that will not eat from the time they go blue until after shed.

    I would offer.

    I always offer and leave it up to the snake.

    Quetzal eats while opaque, just takes him longer to figure out where he should bite :P

    The only thing I don't know about is feeding while in full blown shed?

    There really isn't any negative things I've ever heard, so it's really a matter of if the snake will eat. ;)

    My guy lost his eye caps today and should be all done in a day or so. Would feeding him now help the shedding process

    It can't hurt to try, if they aren't to crabby. Tonight when I came home first two tubs snakes had started to go blue. I offered, and they ate. Seems if they are just starting to blue they will eat, but if totally in blue, they wont. but I suppose it depends on each snake. My bee is a hog, I don't think she would ever turn down a meal. My normal, a bit more picky. Bottomine, it can't hurt to offer.
