She is beautiful enjoy

If only she was mine mate, she's one of many I get to clean out on a Saturday at my mates reptile shop. Although I'm off work this week so I'll probably be down a few days

Beautiful retics in this topic, they're amazing snakes.
Just wanted to point out as well, i have 2 retics that also refuse to eat during a shed. (grab and constrict but won't eat, will eat like crazy again after shed)

Really.... hmmm. This seems to be pretty common here. Mine and most people local to me share the same experience of eating regardless of shed cycle. Weird

I've never tried to feed Jenny while she's in shed, it's just something I've always did to give her digestive system a break

I never try to feed mine in shed also. Its usually 2 weeks for me when in shed while they get dull eyes get cloudy they clear on up any day after that that's when they are letting me know its time to eat start looking for food love retic

I don't think there's a right or wrong when it comes to feeding in shed. Personally I don't feed my boa when she's in shed as she tends to hide shop don't like to disturb her or entice her out.

It certainly doesn't do them any harm either way though.

I agree Danny everyone has a different way of doing things it doesn't mean that one person is wrong and the other is right

Same, but i'm fairly good at missing the start of their shedding haha. I've missed the purple's blue eyes a couple of times.. The genetic stripe also doesn't eat in shed but i've only missed his blue eyes once so far.

did the G stripe let you have the food back easily or did he fight you for it

**Tsubaki** · 08-07-16, 05:28 AM

He will grab it, constrict it and then just lie on top of it without eating it.. Trying to get it back with tongs results in him repeating said process... So i have to move him away from the food first.. I keep a very close eye on potential sheds for him now because that was a pain in the nether-regions to do

The reason I asked was we tried Jenny with a jumbo rat after months of her being on rabbits and she was using it as a pillow

. But trying to get it back of her was a bit of a task
