Shed q?

I am trying to get my snake to eat rats to no avail, so I fed her a medium sized adult mouse, enough to give her a good bulge, 2 1/2 weeks ago, and was gonna try her on a f/t rat pup tomorrow, but she seems to be in early shed stage, should I wait or still try? Thanks
Moses
p.s she is really growing and looking good, will really work on getting some pics to show you all.

It won't hurt to try.The worst thing that'll happen is she won't eat it.

Hey Moses! :-)
Glad to hear your Coastal is doing well and is recovered nicely.
What about trying 2 prey items half the size of 1 you normally give her, but have one rat and one mouse. Maybe defrost them together and then rub the prefered one on the other one. After getting into feeding mode, might be happy to down both, got nothing to lose...

Oh, I'd probably wait till after shed, but that's just personal preference.
