    It's up to you, you can try to feed or wait either way it's not gonna hurt.

    Critter keepers are really cheap.

    It really depends on the bp though, some will still eat, others might refuse. I'd say try. Don't you already have the live mouse anyways?

    I leave my bp alone. I don't want to stress it out by disturbing it during it's shed. I usually feed the day after it's done.

    Both my snakes eat during shed. They are just a little more shy about it.

    Re: to feed or not to feed

    i fed my bp on monday and had an excellent feeding response. Im glad I waited till after his shed. He was kinda cranky before he shed (hissing a lot and balling up). im going to feed again on friday.
