| Whilst i was about to feed Medusa today i noticed her eyes have gone cloudy and her skin has gone dull, im assuming she is about to shed... i wasnt sure whether to continue feeding her so i thought id see if she would take it... she took the pinkie straight away, constricted then swallowed. Was this the right thing to do? should i feed again next week? ive made sure she has a log to rub on and a pool of water to soak in if she wants to. |

Some snakes are quite happy to eat whilst shedding, some won't. Just offer the food and she'll take it if she wants it.
Her eyes will clear and then a few days later she'll shed. |

| Mr Tickle shed within 2 days of buying him and we were well chuffed. Didnt even expect it cos he looked fine no cloudy eyes or dull skin. |
