So as far as I can tell from searches, most of the advice is that you should NEVER try to feed live to a ball python with cloudy eyes. The advice for f/t seems to say that it doesn't hurt to wait until after the shed. I am wondering, does it hurt to go ahead and feed?

My ball is coming into her second shed with me, and I really want it to go well because she got into a tape incident. I took her to the vet immediately and they used the organic solvent to pull off the mailing tape I had used to keep her thermostat sensor in place. (I erroneously thought she couldn't possibly get into it....) None of her actual scales were removed, but the ...skin?... pigmenty part of some of the scales did come off, and her skin has looked a bit dull and loose there since then (this was 3weeks ago.) Anyway, she's been eating fine, but I want this to be as good of a shed as it can be for her.

Tonight is her usual feeding night. Last week I moved her up to 2 tiny hoppers because she doesn't seem to be growing, and she was all about eating the second one. I am worried about getting off her feeding schedule and her refusing food. Would it be okay to present the mice to her, paying special attention to my hands so she doesn't accidently strike me? Her eyes are cloudy, but they weren't this morning, so they're really not as cloudy as they will be in days to come.

Any advice is welcome.
