    Blue eyes

    So I'm pretty excited she is blue eyed which I know mean she's going to shed. Thursday is normal reedit day ( posting this in Tuesday) should I not feed this week? And don't handle till after the shed right? Thanks for the help in advance.

    Advice on this varies. I offer my snakes food when they are in shed and I haven't had a refusal yet. Some snakes won't eat while they are shedding though.

    I wouldn't recommend handling during this time, they can't see very well and it will stress them out. I think I also read somewhere that the oils from our skin can make the shed harder on them, but I don't know how much truth there is to that.
