Snakes Eating in Blue?

[Sammy412]

Just curious.....I have a pastel male who eats EVERY time, even in shed(blue). The first time, I wasn't even going to try, but he was cruising so hard, I offered and he never hesitated. And he hasn't since, either. I was just curious how many of you guys also had snakes that eat in blue? My philosophy is, if he'll eat it, feed it

The girl i got from a family who couldn't take care of her anymore barely fed her at all. Now she's a monster and will eat everything in sight, no matter what level or stage she is in shed. Some snakes just don't care and just the smell gets them rolling.

There are a few I can ALWAYS count on to eat, like the Mojave & Spider, and of course the corn snakes... my corns can be completely blind/opaque, and will still bump around to find that mouse & devour it. I've learned who eats in shed by now, and I also know who will refuse - so I don't even bother offering to those snakes. Sometimes they surprise me, though, like when Rosalind pounded a live rat on Tuesday while in shed. She's kinda 50/50 with that, but this week she had NO hesitation!

I would say that 90% of my collection eats while in shed regardless of the stage.

I used to offer and it was a hit or miss so I don't offer any food while they're in blue any longer.

All of my snakes will eat even if they are ridiculously blue in the eyes. Even my little BP who is only like 2 months old.

My male will not touch the prey when he is in the blue stage so I have stopped offering food to him while is in shed.

I am new here so hope it is alright for me to post on this. I am just agreeing that snakes eating in different stages of shed can be normal. I freaked the first time it happened to me but after as many snakes as I have seen eat in the blue I kind of just laugh

I offer, but mine is 50/50 on whether he takes it or not.

My snake is a real food addict. He always eats in blue, and I'm pretty sure that if I were to give him a constant supply of mice, he would be eating non-stop.
