Feed during shed?
Do you guys offer prey during shed? I am waiting for my royal to shed, but it has been 10 days since he ate, should I feed or wait for him to finish shedding.

Re: Feed during shed?
Never hurts to offer.. some snakes will never miss a feed and some refuse to eat during shed.

Re: Feed during shed?
I agree. Try it and if he eats fine, if not you'll know.

Re: Feed during shed?
Pajamas? Yes. Because he will eat anything. (then again, he IS a retic)
Oliver? Nyeh. depends on his mood. if he's so far in, no. If he's just starting to go blue, No. he's weird.

Re: Feed during shed?
Most of my guys will eat right through the shed process with no issues, just try it and see what yours do
