Should I try feeding tomorrow?

[jessica87]

Alana eye's has been blue for the past 2 days and completely dull in color now, feeding is tomorrow but should I skip and not stress her out or should I go ahead and try? I know their is a lot of threads on here about feeding in the shed process, but I'am new and trying my best not to stress any of my snakes only bringing this up because right now she's blind if I'am correct about the blue eyes and can't that cause a shed problem maybe or stress on her while I do fed both of my snakes in a different container.

I don't feed mine once they go blue. Actually, I don't feed once I know they're about to shed, but definitely not once they go blue.

They may eat, but they may not. I know they won't eat, since there's no food, so it takes the guesswork out.

It definitely won't hurt to offer. A lot of people feed the whole way through without any problems.

Some people do or have fed during Blue or in shed. I have and haven't had any problems, BUT....can it cause any problems? That I cant answer since I haven't had any. Hopefully someone can help you with this question. Do you feed "Live", F/T...what? The only problem I could see happen is if you happen to feed "Live", If you feed F/T the rat/mouse cant harm your snake. Just my thoughts!!!!!!

Going blue I don't feed. Clearing, but not yet shed, I may try depending on the response when I open the tub.

Most of mine will eat regardless of their shed coming or not.
I almost always offer except to the couple that I know will not eat.

It can't hurt to offer. Some eat some don't. But you'll have to get to know your snake. I have some that will eat no matter what. Some that I know won't touch it, so don't even bother. It also will not hurt them if you just want to wait.

I offer every feeding cycle, usually because my specimens take regardless of a shed, but there is nothing wrong with skipping the occasional meal. Causing harm? similar to what a previous poster says, I cannot answer that concretely...I heard the whole, no feeding when in shed rule when I first started too, maybe it's just one of those "old teachings", Thou shalt not feed thy snake when in blue!

I feed only f/t.

I agree just give it a try and see what happens. It won't hurt a bit. Then you'll know if he will eat when I shed sometimes they will sometimes they won't.
