Dont, give advise if you have no idea.
Feeding in shed [ if the snake excepts it ] is absolutely fine.

and i bet if there was a vote most people would say not to.

What experience or expertise do you have to back up your statement that feeding a snake during a shed cycle is detrimental mate?

I have proof that it isn't detrimental - dozens of snakes still alive and thriving in my collection, all of which are fed in a shed cycle (those willing to feed).

Now show me where's your proof that it is harmful....

so whats wrong with handling a snake while it's in shed? I sometimes hear of this but never hear why.. sounds like an old wives tail to me.
