Newbie with another question

[NatalieFaye1031]

So like i said in an earlier post my ball python (whom ive only had for 4 days) was in the 3-7 day stage of shedding im pretty sure.... his belly was pink and his eyes were that cloudy blue color and hes been in his hide the entire four days... i was told that he is due for a feeding on friday... but i read that during a shed they shouldnt eat? So if he hasnt shed by friday should i not feed him... and how long after he has shed should i go ahead and feed him?

thanks:]

Some snakes will eat during shed and some won't. The only way to know for sure is to offer. If you don't want to take a chance of wasting a rat, then wait till the shed is done. Some will eat immediately after a shed. I usually wait till the day after just to give them some time to relax after the shed...

I would just wait one week from the day you got the snake, especially if it is in shed and not an established animal.

Too many times newbies are in a hurry to watch their snake eat a mouse. I would say that getting the snake into a new home and being in shed on top of that your snake is stressed out pretty bad. Wait until the snake has shed and then give it a few more days. It isn't going to starve and putting more undue stress on the snake might hurt it more than trying to feed it early.

Believe me... i am in no hurry to feed him:] .. i will definately wait, as yall have suggested until after he sheds... and such

Thanks guys!
