    Should I offer food ?

    Odys and I are going through our first shed together. Tomorrow is feeding day and I'm not sure if I should offer food to him or skip it ? Thanks

    Up to you. Some will take food in shed, some will not.

    If you aren't worried about wasting a feeder, you can try. If he doesn't take it, it won't be a big deal to you.

    If you are worried about wasting food, you can skip. There's no chance of wasting a feeder if you don't offer, and an otherwise healthy snake will never suffer because it skipped one weekly meal.
    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

    Offer the food, my guy never misses a meal, he is a pig. Even if i know he is in shed and plan to wait till he's done, i don't get away with that. he will be at his viv door going up and down looking for dinner. So i offer, he never refuses, i just make the meal a little smaller.

    Something you'll have to experiment with. My Pied eats no matter what. With the rest of my collection, I usually wait til they finish shedding.
