Really is upto you Chez. Some of mine get offered when blue as I know they will still feed, and some don't get offered as I know they wont take it.

I have always fed mine in blue because they have still been active. However Charlies last shed come feeding day he was hid away so I didn't feed him. I choose by wether they are searching or not usually mine come out scaling the viv for food about a day or so before feeding day. If they dont come out I dont feed when they're blue. That is my choice though my own personal way of doing it not a right or wrong.

I get mine out and feed them in a rub. but they usually know when it's due feeding day and I guess know theyre coming out lol hence scaling the viv! There isnt any other time in the week when both my snakes cant get to me quick enough to pick them up and put them in their feeding rubs lol. Anyother time Matilda will hide and Charlie will stay where he is to be picked up but makes no effort to want to be lol.

I offer all mine when they are in shed, so they can eat if they are hungry and refuse if they are not. Nothing gets wasted as there is always another that will eat leftovers.
