KSB- How long after shed to feed

[Stewart_Reptiles]

I was afraid of him swallowing substrate and becoming impacted. He's on plain aspen but I've read lots of posts saying it's still safer to feed them in a substrate-free environment. Also the tutorials and things I've read have said that 90-95 is suitable but I'll keep that in mind. I'm thinking I'll try again Saturday based on what his previous owner said and your advice.

That being said if anyone else has more tips I'm still very much open to them!

I have been feeding a variety of snakes on aspen from BP to Hognose to KSB without any issue if that put you at ease and not just one or two.

One other thing I would do is downsize the enclosure 20 gallons even for an adult male is BIG but for a yearling 5 gallons, 6 quarts tubs, or V18 tubs would be a lot better.

Temperature wise 95 would be pushing it, 92 at the most would be a lot better with temps in the low 80's on the cool side.

If after that it still does not work try switching from Aspen to coco husk type bedding (needs to be dry of course)
