RE: Re: RE: Feeding during Shed?

All of my snakes will eat if i offer them food during a shed however, as MattQld83 mentioned they can have trouble shedding around the lump. I had a woma that after it fed, it then shed two hours later.......the effect was something that looked like an elastic band that was so rediculously tight around its waist, that i had to use nail scissors to cut the tight excess skin while bathing it in lukewarm water to get the rest of the shed off. It was not one of my brightest moments and i was really only lucky in that i always check on my babies an hour or two after they feed. I dread to think of what would have happened had i gone and checked on her the following morning.

Simone.
