I find sonny often refuses a feed on shed days, but he's normally fine the day after, its up to you whether you want to attempt a feed or not

It depends on the snake whether they will take food or not. Apollo will always eat. ALWAYS. Haha, but he's just a little greedy guts. It is up to you whether you want to try it or not. Going an extra day or two between feeds shouldn't hurt, but it wouldn't hurt to offer her a pinkie either. If she doesn't take it, then it would be wasted though.
