I am usually concern more about problem with shedding after this.
Some times old skin rips off around the bottom of jaw or neck and snake have trouble to shed properly.
That is why I don't like to feed during the shed.
To much work to shed snake skin bits after. |

They are all great eaters now, and would probably eat now, but I do not breed my own rats and with the price of the large ones I cannot afford to be throwing good rats out. I normally feed regularly so going an extra week or so without eating, every couple of months is probably good for them.
I have others that will feed any time, so it is not an issue.
Really is a personal preference depending on the actual snake.
