    It is perfectly fine to feed while the snake is in shed.

    I've never known it hurt them in any way. They are just less likely to take a meal in shed.

    I have a few that will eat while in shed, and a few that won't. It doesn't hurt them to try....

    Re: Feeding question ?

    Most of mine will not take in shed but I still offer it to them. Usually if I give them something a little smaller they might take.
