Re: Does anyone feed during shed???
No, not generally. I do have a few eaters that will eat pretty much no matter what but shed is stressful enough I think, without the added demands of digesting a meal.
 singingtothesnakes  1.1 Normal kids. Well for the most part anyway.
0.1. Worlds coolest Normal Ball Python (Boo)
0.1. Mojave Ball Python (Daisy)
1.0. Pastel Ball Python (Sol)
1.1. Het. for Axanthic Ball Python (Xan and Xab's)
1.1. Garden Phase, Amazon Tree Boa's (Jetta & Izzy)
0.1. Reverse Okeetee Corn Snake (Sarah)
0.0.1. Gopher Snake (Little Bite)
The Ghost did not pan out. shoot!
Hopefully by summer I'll be making payments on a 1.1 lesser

Blue...shed....they will eat at anytime. If they will take it then give it to them. Now with that being said....if they are blue be careful if you are feeding live. They really cannot see and could be at risk by a live feed. Also when they are blue...their aim can be quite interesting!

My girl has only shed once since I have had her. Come her regular;ar feeding day I was wondering f I should try or not. I thought I would try and she took it no problem. SO yes, I guess I do feed during shed!

My guy eats for me whenever I try to feed him...lucky I guess. So in short, yes I keep my regular schedule when he's shedding and it's worked great out so far.

You will probably find out that most people feed whether the snake is in shed or not, I know I do and the majority eats only a handful will refuse while in shed.

Re: Does anyone feed during shed???
All of mine are different... a few will always eat during shed (Scout, Julius, Toby, Vinnie), two never will (Mona, Delilah), and the others are hit & miss. Usually I offer the prey regardless, and just be prepared for a refusal. I feed mostly live, so leftovers either go to somebody else, or join my breeding colony for a week.
