Thought I'd ask since you didn't mention one.

Our snakes will will eat if they're going into shed sometimes; sometimes they won't. Our big female usually won't until she's done shedding and leaves us a nice little stinky present; then look out because she's on the hunt for a rat.

Our pied has only shed once since we've had him; he refused food until afterwards.

We Just got a black satin black pastel so we'll have to wait and see what he does.
