    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 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.

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