My snake was due a feed 2 days ago (id left it about 11 days because I fed her 2 medium mice as pet shop had no large left)and I noticed she was in blue.
The prev owner said he never fed her in blue as she was always a bit grumpy in that mode. My question is because my snake hasnt eaten for nearly 2 weeks now, will she be alright if I wait until she has shed before feeding her?

She will be fine until shed. You can try her whilst she is in blue though. There's no harm in it. 2 out of 5 of my snakes wont eat in blue but the others scoff their food down. xxx

i don't usually feed them if they're in blue as it's not natural for them to do so
some members have also posted about feeding their snakes' in blue then them regurging prolly down to vigorous shedding activities
2 weeks is nothing, even to a tiny hatchie, they don't have a feeding schedule in the wild!

Phoenix isnt interested in food during blue, Savanna regurges if fed in blue and Indiana must be male cos he/she eats no matter what. Was an opps on my part as i didnt even realise she was in blue.
