They keep eating up until they turn opaque.

Do your balls eat when they're blue? (Pre-shed)
I just had a scare the other day... my big normal girl hasn't refused a meal since her annual fast that ended in February... I was so disappointed the other day when she refused, but today she went blue, so, in all technical senses, the refuse doesn't count against her streak of no refusals! 
Anyways, I'm just curious. Do the majority of your snakes eat before a shed?
I'm excited to see whether or not my blood does... somehow I think he will...

No, mine just hurt. xD
But for real, none of my snakes eat when blue or in shed or even thinking about shedding.

I think mine are so conditioned for feeding every week, it doesn't matter to them if they are in full blue or any stage of shedding - they'll feed. It's rare that I have a refusal.

I like alot of people have snakes that will eat anything any time any where no questions asked. Then I have some that need a little soft light, some slow music, and no interruptions before they even think about eating.
Two types of snakes
1: The Chinese Buffet, any time any where as much as you can spare
2: The Teen Girl, You know they eat you just never see it cause they wait till no one is looking.

Re: Do your balls eat when they're blue? (Pre-shed)
since i switched to asf's they always eat in blue. even when they seem to be completely blind. i usually hold the rat by the tail ( with my forceps) close to the but for better control. if i don't ,they tend to go crazy because they want it but cant find it long enough to catch them. then i hold in near its face in just the right spot and WHAM! when the snake strikes i let go. the rest is history.

Usually I don't offer food during shed. I just wait till they are finished and ready for a meal...
