Thanks guys
I'll try to feed him and let him decide for himself then ^^

I personally don't bother trying to feed my BP when he's in shed. He's not going to miss the meal and he's always happy to eat after a shed.

My King, however, ate his own mouse plus my BPs refusal the other night while in the blue as blue can be. He's a garbage disposal though. I swear he'll eat anything any time.

Anyway, as far as offering, it can't hurt. It's really up to you. If you go for it and he eats, great. If you try and he refuses, well, maybe at worst it's a wasted mouse. Throw it outside for a neighborhood animal.

Like somebody else said, you'll get to know your snake and his habits, demeanors, etc...

Good luck with your first shed!

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I'll just go ahead and offer and see what happens, then I'll go from there. Thanks!

Sounds good! You'll know after offering whether he's an eater while in shed or not and just move forward accordingly.

3 am update ;P
I tried feeding him Friday but he was completely uninterested in the rat and the world (he's going through a phrase; it's a juvenile thing). Next feeding attempt is Wednesday ^_^

--- Now for the big news !!! ---
Kas finished his first shed with me around 2:30 am !!! And I got to see it When he finished, he looked up at me all cute

"Mom are you proud of me"
And I am proud of him!! The shed was complete and all in one piece

Hooray for my shiny noodle <3

Awesome! Keep up the good work!

I've seen a couple of mine shed on a few occasions, sooo fascinating and soooooooooo cool to see!!

Look at this lovely present I woke up to a few hours ago xD

Not only did he leave a giant poo, he decided to pee all over it and his hide! And he smushed some of it too >_< Had to do a full clean for the tub and for him lol.
I also weighed him, and he's 221 g. All it took was one bathroom trip to drop 22 g!! o_o;
And now with all this shedding and pooing out of the way, I get to go back to pretending he doesn't exist until feeding day. :B

Special Olympics was today! It's this sports event kinda thing for disabled people and I was volunteering I was so pooped after running around for 8 hours in mid 90 degree weather, then when I get home I see that Kassadin was pooped as well lol. Or well, he left me a poop as a welcome home gift.
Weighed him and he's now 261 grams!! My son is growing :') He's so difficult to weigh now, he just goes out of the bowl instead of plopping into it like he used to.
He's been eating really well! His last meal was the first time he struck at the rat while I was holding onto it with hemostats, so I'm glad he's finally warming up to me. And speaking of warming up to me, he scarfed me today

~Picture-heavy warning~
We upgraded to a 32 qt today!! (Actually yesterday since it's almost 3 am oops)
The 15 qt didn't fit the medium ReptileBasics hides so I went ahead and upgraded ^_^ The jump from small to medium is huge tho! But I put the small inside of the medium hide which worked out Kas seems to enjoy not being so tightly coiled lol.
And he enjoyed the new tub so much he just haaad to have a BM the moment he went in xD
Anyways I weighed him (272 grams!!!) and took some poor-quality-bad-lighting-iPhone-pictures

^I love this pic lol every time I get out a camera he shoves his snoot in front of it
