    I've had my ball for less than 2 weeks (first snake & first shed) and there is a good chance that he will be in blue on Monday which is his normal feed day. I know not to feed him while in shed because of added stress.
    My question is: do I feed him after his shed is complete and then get back on schedule OR just skip this week and feed him the following Monday.

    Thanks for your help!
    You can do it pretty much any way you want.

    You can feed him. A lot of BP's will eat while blue. Some will not. The only way you'll know is to try it and see what your snake thinks.

    Or you can not feed him. No ball python will ever suffer from going 1 week without food.

    It's up to you and your snake, really.
    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.
