Corn Snake Definitly in Shed!

[GarterPython]

I am now for sure that he is in shed. You can actually see the skin kind of stretching out. (Kind if hard to explain) Anyway I am sure he is going to shed and probably soon. He also ate today as this is his normal feeding day. I hope that its okay to feed at the same time as him shedding. Anyways here are some pics. Sorry for the bad quality. It might be kind of hard to see how he looks while shedding because of my crappy camera but, yeah.....

Edit: Sorry pics aren't working. Will post them soon... sorry.

Reallly sorry but the pictures aren't working so I guess this is just a tell all you guys thread! Is it okay to feed while shedding. Just want to know for next time.

It's fine to feed during shedding, but most snakes don't feel like eating during that time. You can always try, but don't be surprised if your snake doesn't eat. I only have one snake who will actually eat while he's in shed...

Most snakes wont eat during a shed; it's a VERY stressful time for them. Save the meal for when they're done.

Yep. Some will eat and some won't. I don't have any experiences with corns but most of my animals will eat while in shed, except for one royal...and sometimes my king won't. I guess it depends on how far along in the process she is.

Since he's eaten once for you while in shed, don't be disappointed if he doesn't ever eat again in shed. Like repetile65 and mykee said, most don't as it can be stressful to them.

If the snake takes food when it's in shed, I don't think there's any harm done... I've seen my ball python eat when he was very much in the blue.

Thank you everybody for they anwsers. Next time I will probably just wait.

I've had snakes that ate when in shed, when they were little, and who calmed down after being grown. My corn snake is one of them. When i first got him a year ago he was pretty small, and constantly starving. Now he will actually refuse a meal. I think it was part actually being hungry from how he was treated before i got him, and part just instinct because of being a baby. It's not going to super hurt them to eat then, but it's not going to hurt him to miss a meal while his body focuses on shedding, either : )
I'm usually of the principal of if they will eat, feed them. But sometimes they're too little to know what's best for them : ) you're okay though!

[GarterPython]

Okay! Just want the best for the little buddy.

One thing I do is I keep a look out for when they go in blue so I don't feed. I've fed a snake in shed/in blue, it's just not the same
The shed doesn't come off as well, you lose the focus of trying to get the shed off, and the focus becomes digestion. Even in shed my corn is hungry, but because she is patrolling, that shed comes off nicely as opposed to barely moving due to digestion. When the shed is off then feed, trust me

[GarterPython]

Next time I will. Hopefully this time it is a good shed. All I can do now is wait and hope he has a good shed.

Most of my seven will eat during the shed process, the only issue i have had with regard to this is my JCP who during the process of eating split the skin that was about to shed and he shed in pieces.

A few of mine will eat during shed but I stopped offering it to anyone in shed. It isn't worth bothering them IMO.

Schatzi eats in shed but her feed drive is like a Macklot's so I never have any issues with her. I would say, if your Corn takes it, no harm done but it doesnt hurt to wait until after either.

What do you mean by an incomplete shed? Is the snake shedding in pieces? or not shedding at all?
Information about the set up (temps, etc) will help.

[GarterPython]

Ugh! Still in shed this is painful. I want to take him out so bad.

LOL I know what you mean. My corn takes much longer to shed compared to my other snakes :O_o:

[jennuhkins]

Yea hes first shed came in pieces then he got mites so i think that made hes second shed the same, and then when he got injured by some tape when he started to heal hes shed is still incomplete, is this a bad thing? my poor baby has gone through so much!
