I know that has been discossued over and over. I have been reading on it and I just want to make sure I have this down right. So the reason most people dont feed during shed is that the snake uses moisture to shed and it is believed that snakes usually do not have enough energy to do both? Now my question comes in like this. What about if you snake eats in shed? Both my snakes eat while in shed. The last time I fed them both in shed the boa shed properly, but the blood shed everything minus the top of its head because the shed split right before his neck. I am not sure if this is because of feeding while on shed, or if it was a freak accident because all his other shed have been perfect, and I fed those weeks too.
Another issue is what should I have in the tank to facilitate shedding. I have 2 medium size rocks in there, but I still think he is having issues finding something to rub his nose against to help the shed. Should I replace the rocks with 1 big rock that weighs like 15 lbs? When I resolved the issue with the shed on my blood's head it came off very very easily, so I believe I had all the husbandry right (checked with hygrometer and thermometer), but he was just unable to shed the top part of his head.
What would you guys recommend? Just not to feed during shed? Or keep feeding during shed for 1 or 2 more cycles and see how the shed comes off?
