    Most of mine will eat readily if the "blue" is clearing.

    I also don't feed mine from the time they go blue until shed complete. And feeding every 7 days will be fine...

    I feed live, so when their eyes are glazed over, I wait until it clears up before I feed them. I have experienced my snake struck a rat when her eyes was glazed over and she caught the rat around the rump and the rat's mouth was free to sink his teeth... we caught it with the tongs so it didn't do damage, but we decided to just wait a few days for the eyes to clear from then on.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
