First shed
Ok so Princess eyes have gone blue, just noticed this today, can some one tell me how long her shed will take, and apart from spraying her viv and moving her water dish nearer to her heat source to raise the humidity, is there anything else i need to do ? We only got her last week and apart from what Iv'e read here, as a new owner I'm not sure what I should be doing.
Cheers

IMHO I would not try to feed. Chances are she will refuse, then you may have to discard/waste a food item.
I noticed Andi my BRB was in shed last week and didn't eat. She still hasn't shed, so I think I may skip today's feeding for her as well.

Re: First shed
I'd leave it, it does them no harm to wait. My corn is due to shed in the next day or so, then he can have his feed he was due a week ago lol.

It's really a per snake situation. Some snakes eat during shed others don't. I feed on schedule regardless of shed, most times Sasha eats, sometimes she doesn't. If she doesn't, I feed her on schedule on the next date.
Basically, it's your call, I would offer and see what happens.

Re: First shed
I'm the same as Zaradozia I offer regardless and usually they will take if they are just starting to shed rather then towards the end of the cycle. As for shed time it really all depends on the snake itself my youngest BP sheds in 6-7 days and my oldest at 8 years sheds in about 8-10 days.

Re: First shed
My Bp normally will eat wherever it is in the shed cycle, but having other snakes to feed the prey item too makes it less of a worry that it wont eat
