    First shed

    I imagine theirs info already on here somewhere but cut me some slack I'm using my phone. My snake is going into shed shortly. Can I still handle him? Is the feeding schedule still the same? I'm going to make it a tad more humid so he has an easy time shedding just not sure what else to do or not to do. Thanks!

    When I notice mine going into shed, I leave them alone as far as handling. Food wise, once you get to know your snake, you will know if he will eat in shed or not. Some do, some dont. Also, try to get your humidity up to 70 for shed.

    I wouldn't handle while in shed. Some may get nippy and p'd-off. Also, I've read their new skin, under the shedding layer, is sensitive and delicate.

    My snake eats like a pig in shed. Some do, some don't.

    Bump the humidity up to around 70% and strive for a complete 1 piece shed.

    Awesome. Thanks a lot! I hope it comes off in one piece. I think it will

    I feed mine right after their eyes go back to normal and then they shed and pooped within the next 2-3 days
