    when to feed?

    i got my BP last wed (11/1/17) and the owner said he had just eaten the friday before. he also just started to go into shed.

    monday (11/6/17) he completed his shed, although he had a bad shed and had to be soaked which i know can be stressful.

    should i try to feed him any time soon (and if so, when) or will he be too stressed from the new home + bad shed and refuse?

    also i haven't tried to handle him yet except for getting him in a container to soak because i don't want to put too much stress on him at once.

    thanks in advance

    you can try to feed him, but a refusal wouldn't be surprising. if the snake refuses, wait another 5-7 days before offering again.
