    Feeding while in shed..?

    Hey everybody, Fridays (tomorrow) are feeding day for my ball and she's been eating great on that schedule, but she is in the process of shedding right now. She is already past the pink belly/clouded eyes stages, and her eyes are beginning to have that "wrinkled" look. I am expecting a shed within the next 24 hours, but if she doesn't shed by tomorrow, should I still feed her? Or wait until she is completely done?
    Thanks a ton in advance

    I always offer on the same day in shed or not. Sometimes they take, sometimes they don't. And If they don't I just offer again in a week.

    Re: Feeding while in shed..?

    You could try. Some will eat, some won't. I have one that will eat no matter what. One that is so pissy when in shed I just skip over her. Depends on the snake. You could always just wait a day or two also, and have a nice hungry clean shed snake if she cleared up in the last day or so.
    If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.
