    eating ?

    I was just wanted to know is that my pb hasn't ate in almost two months. which i know is common I have been offering him a meal once a week. The ? I have is that he is in his shedding stage. Should I wait tell he shedds to off him a meal or keep offering him meals as normal.

    I'm new to the site and to snake owning but the advice that I have seen before has been to wait to feed it until the shed process is over for many reasons. The search tool on the site is really helpful as well.
    My snake just finished his shed and he gulfed down his meal today.

    It probably wouldn't hurt to offer him food if you wanted...but if I were in your shoes, I'd wait and attempt a feed the day (or day after) he finishes his shed. That event may spark up his appetite again.

    Good luck with it!

    I offer my "kids" a meal every Tuesday, whether they are in shed or not. Some could care less if they're in shed - others would prefer not to eat. If they refuse - no big deal, we just feed again the next week!
