Dinger is in blue right now so she didnt eat last night.
Do i feed her again right after she sheds, or just wait for the next feeding day? |

Our Sidney still eats when he's in shed mode. I agree with sexybear, if they dont mind being handled and want to feed go ahead. |

I always offer mine food when they are in blue- then they can make the decision to refuse rather than me deciding not to feed them! |

I always avoid feeding my snakes when they are blue. I guess I try to mimic what they would do in the wild - and they would hide away and not feed while they were vulnerable and then as soon as they had shed (if they had missed a feed) they would go out and grab the nearest 'dinner' they could get! So I feed mine the day after they shed, just because I have to wait for the mouse to defrost.
In the wild they certainly wouldnt follow any set routing or schedule....so unless you have a reason for wanting Dinger to feed on a certain day (which will have to change as she grows) then I would feed her right after she sheds.

I'd wait next feeding time makes things easier to remember. |

Slinky hides AWAY when she is due to shed- sometimes for 10 days to 2 weeks.
So I figured that in "The wild" she did this she wouldnt eat- so I feed her after she has shed - After I have checked to see that all the shed is off |

i'd personally feed on their next regular time after the shed |

It could be a week or so before she sheds so i'd just leave her untill she sheds. |

It depends on you!
Do whatever you want..!
Remember, snakes can go on forever without eating!  |
