Just wait until after she has shed. It wont do her any harm.

I feed mine in his shed. Only when he's not milky eyes thats only time I don't.

I feel bad if he's checking out every nook and cranny looking for a mouse, he's such a pig and he never misses lol

in the wild they'd be hiding somewhere safe when they're due for a shed, not on the prowl for a meal. with that in mind i don't feed mine when they're blue/shedding as it's more natural and to help prevent obesity by missing the occasional feed.

Mine feed fine when in shed, it depends on the individual snake.

most of mine will feed, it's my choice not to feed them as i think it's a more natural approach.
