Would Not Eat???

JW if its normal for Ball Pythons not too eat while they are in the shedding process. JW if anybody can shed some light on this problem. Thank u very much.

Many ball pythons do not eat when in shed, I was lucky DD ate during his last shed. I was advised by others here with lots of experiance to offer, and if he refused not to be worried at all. Has he ate for you before? How far along is he in shed?

I have been told that they don't eat while in shed because they are blind. It may be one of the reasons. I know that there are others.

Some eat...some don't. Not a problem, just feed next week on your regular feeding day and everything will be great

It is normal, some will still eat but most of my experience says they won't. I would recommend you interact as little as possible durring the shedding phases and not offer food if they are well into the stages.

I fed him last tuse. And his eyes have a been blue for a couple of days now. So i have no reason to worry right? Should i wait to next tuse now to try again?
