| my snake has started the shedding process (dulling of the skin etc.) but the problem is that i don't usually feed him whilst he's shedding and do it a day or 2 after, but, unlike the previous times, this would mean he doesn't eat for a bout 2 and a hlf weeks. will he be alright or should i feed him now? |

| Its fine for you to feed your snake now if it will eat but thats up to the snake. Sometimes they just dont want to eat while they are in shed. If you decide not to feed your snake untill it has shed thats fine too. Aslong as the snake isnt very young, it wont do it any harm. |

agreed. if it takes a mouse that's fine, if it waits a little longer it won't starve, lol.

As long as the snake is healthy and of a good size he would be ok. Think about the time a snake is in brumation with only water to drink and no heat.
He`ll be ok. |
