Vote yes or no $ should u feed pythons while there shedding

[fraser888]

No way deffentaly DO NOT do it!

 

[GrumpyTheSnake]

Yes

 

[GrumpyTheSnake]

Some of mine like to eat when they're in shed, others don't. I've had the same problem as Brendan with a Bredli once. She only had it happen once, the skin rolled just like you said. All the other times she's taken food, she hasn't had a problem. I had a Maccie shed last week WHILE it was eating!! I didn't realise he was that close.. but while he was swallowing the food, he was rubbing back the slough off his face :lol:

I wouldn't say you're stupid.. I've actually thought that myself sometimes.

Why not?

This thred was started by some one who was telling a younger member not to feed
a snake during the shedding process and when it was pointed out that it is fine to feed
the snake if it will eat as there is no detremental affects in doing this, We were challenged on it with out putting up a valid point as to why it is detremental and still hasent .
As i stated in the other thred there is no reason not to feed if the snake will eat during this
process as it is not detremental.
There is so much misinformation floating around on the nett and people just pick it up as gospell and run with it

 

[gozz]

i do and have never had any one python say no

 

[FAY]

I just added a poll to this question. Hope it is OK?

 

[FNQ_Snake]

Yay, you put a poll on. LOL.

[croc_hunter_penny]

I offer them food, if they take it that's great, if not then they can eat next week

 

[GrumpyTheSnake]

Thanks for the poll Fay. I think it was needed.

 

[Lozza]

I feed them regardless - some take it, some don't. Never had a problem.

 

[Simple]

Is this feeding while it is actually shedding or just in a shed cycle? In a shed cycle if the snake will eat yes, if it is actually shedding no. I wait untill it has finished.

 

[GrumpyTheSnake]

Some eat, some don't. When someone poses a question on here... "what do you think I should do/get?" a lot of the time they get told "Personal preference.. your choice".... well, it's the same for the snake It's their choice that week, whether they want to eat or not.

 

[ttaipan]

Yes, but i strictly give smaller size feeds if they want it!
mrillusion; do tell us why u dont?? I'm very interested?:?

 

[Dan19]

Hey Mrillusion, remember this post you said to me and beeman?

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

Look at the votes Sherlock.

We have never had any probs doing it!

And I'm not sure why you are so set against discussion and argument on the topic! It is hugely unhelpful to have someone just say "Definitely not" without any reasoning behind it!
