its up to you as to whether you offer food or not when they are getting ready to shed.. i offer one as it only costs 30p a pinkie so its no biggie if it doesnt get eaten..but if he doesnt eat it i will wait until he sheds and then feed him.. someone said on here that feeding during shedding is like putting on a super tight pair of jeans and then trying to eat a big meal.. his eyes will probably clear up slightly and then he will shed so he will probs shed anytime between the next 5-9ish days..
you can move up to 2 pinkies when there is no obvious bulge when the meal has moved into the biggest part of the snake  |

| I think it just depends on the snake. Rizla is quite happy to eat while in shed mode and (touch wood) has never had a bad shed. |

| it doesnt hurt at all to help your snake, a moist moss hide will suffice tho. most snakes dont need any help with shedding. I offer both of mine food when they are due, regardless of shedding, if they want it they can have it, if not, oh well. |
