Feed/soak/or both

[Simplex]

weather u feed then soak or soak then feed is up to you, the only thing is let her rest a couple hours after feeding if u decide to feed then soak, as far at the shed goes 1 or 2 more soaks and wipe downs and you should be golden

make sure she actually soaks an not just sits on towel island =P

Dont ever do this please. A couple of hours is not nearly enough after eating. She should be left alone for a good while 24hrs. If she eats a big meal, she will already be stressed due to the extra attention, soaking, rubbing and stuck shed. By feeding and then soaking you could stress her to the point of a regurge, which is very hard on them.

I feed while they are shedding all the time and they never have any trouble what so ever. It's fine to take care of both in the same day, but may I suggest getting the shed taken care of first because you will have to do some handling in order to help. This just ensures that you bp doesn't regurg the food for any reason, but you do which ever you feel more comfy with!!!

If this happens again I would recommend a soak then feeding to help prevent regurgitation.

Also do you know the weight of your ball and the size of your mice, based on your pictures it looks like he/she could be on rats.

It's a good suggestion to soak and then feed, but snakes RARELY regurge, and just because one soaks a snake that's already eaten does not mean it will regurge.

We are not dealing with wild caught freaked out scared to death snakes, well most of us aren't

I think you'll find offering smaller meals more often will keep them on feed and gaining more weight than feeding large meals.
At 277 grams I would feed 25-30 gram three week old fuzzy rats twice a week, no more than 15% to 20% of body weight in total.
The key to a healthy growth isn't stuffing them, it's keeping them eating week after week after week...
