    well i tried

    my bp is in shed and i tried to feed cause a few people said it wouldnt hurt to feed it him while he is shedding, but he refused to eat. probably cause he couldnt see what the heck he was doing..... i know they dont see well in the first place and they rely on smell and heat to catch their food but he is really scared when he is shedding

    Doesnt hurt to try, but its no big deal. Some snakes will take food during shed, and some wont. All of my snakes will take during a shed. But its nothing to really think about. A nice healthy snake, granted its not a hatchling, can go up to a year or more without food, though i dont think any of our pets should go this long.

    Yeah, don't sweat the small stuff. There may be a time that your snake will stop eating for no reason at all. They eat when they want, not when we want them to. It's all good!
