    Not Eating During Shed...

    My BP is about to shed (super cloudy eyes, dull colors, etc), and I have a feeling that's why he refused dinner yesterday...but I am going away for a few days for thanksgiving and just don't want him to be hungry while I'm gone. Any ideas?

    Skipping one meal isn't going to do your BP any harm. Just make sure it has a clean cage and fresh water before you leave.

    He'll be fine, if any of my snakes are in shed I don't even bother offering, they end up waiting until the next feeding day.

    He'll survive. They can go quite awhile without food if they have to. A few days late is just a blip on the radar.
