| i would just wait until hes shed,he will be blind and will feel funerable,also his skin will be very tight and might not feel like eating a meal.Some do eat but i would just wait. |

| i usually offer but if they dont eat its not the end of the world, but iv learnt with mont not to offer as he doesnt eat.. when i definately work out whether the newbies will eat or not when in shed then il act accordingly.. i think they will be like mont though |

i agree with eeji - it's down to the snake
my adult males i'll happily let skip a feed while they're in blue but my females/juvies i always offer a feed to then it's down to them |

| I try to imagine eating a 5 course meal in my tightest jeans *winces*, so dont feed Kellog while he is 'blue' til after he has shed. For the sake of a week and the snakes comfort I think it is worth waiting. xxx |

Someone else said similar about 15 months ago, it was;
"Imagine wearing a pair of trousers that's 2 sizes to small, and an incredibly tight jumper with a blindfold. Would you feel like eating???"
But it sums it up brilliantly.
Although some snakes will still eat, but at the end of the day most will wait for a couple/few more days before eating. |

| I've never had one turn down a meal yet , I always offer and if they refuse that's fine , but they never have , so far . |

| We think Kizzy may be coming into shed, but we still offered her a meal last night and she quite happily obliged . We wouldn't have been worried if she didn't want to eat it though. |
