    ok my ball is starting to turn bluish gray but hasn't fully gone yet i was wondering if it would be ok for me to feed her or if it is to close now and i risk her splitting her scales?

    You can feed them during shed if they will eat. Some will and some won't. You won't hurt the snake by feeding it during shed.

    Re: feeding/shed question

    Kaorte is right... you can try feeding them, but whether or not they will eat is up to them. From my experience, new juvenile snakes might not eat the first few times they shed.
    My female has only ever refused food once or twice while her eyes were clouded over.
    Other than that, it's just a question of whether or not your snake will eat
