My snake is in pre-shed, it is not comming out its hide and I saw a couple of flakes of loose skin on its back last week.

Since this is the second time it has shed and I'm not used to it(first time took me by surprise as I had only just got it), is it best for me to just leave it to it and not feed her or shall I feed her?

Thanks a lot

Entirerly up to you. If she's happy to carry on with the normal routine then by all means feed her. If, on the other hand, she is a bit freaked out by any sort of attention then leave her until after she's shed. It won't hurt to miss a meal or be late giving it to her. Hope you get to see her shed, it's awesome to watch....

Okay, thank you!!
I may as well try feeding her, and if she does not want it I'll just take it away (:D)
