| How long do corns usually stay in the blue before their eyes clear, I was under the impression of about four days? And should I attempt to feed her, even if she might reject it? She is due a feed tomorrow and has been fed in shed before, it never stopped her. |

| Hmm, same here, but just checking as I don't want her to have to shed on a full stomach. |

their eyes usually clear in a few days then they usually shed within a week
as for feeding it's down to the owner if you want to offer or not but ultimately down to the snake if they want to eat! and a lot of corns are like dustbins so will anyway but i feel its more natural to skip a feed until they've shed. when they're in blue their vision isn't great so they'd just hole-up somewhere safe in the wild and wait till it's over with |

| I was going to ask the same question. Alice has been in blue since Monday and has been in hiding since. I lifted his cave to check on him on wed and yesterday I spotted him sticking his head out to take a drink n then he has been hiding again. He should have been fed yesterday but I figured he obviously isnt bothered as he would have been out n about searching for it. |

I tend to agree with GP on this one (unsurprisingly  ) as in the wild they would not go out and hunt when they were getting ready to shed. Also missing what would normally just be one feed will not do them any harm, whereas offering them food that they cant see properly may cause them stress (just my own thinking).
But it is definitely down to the individual snake as I know many of the forum members' snakes do feed while they are in 'shed preparation mode'
....I just cant help imagining what it must be like eating a 5 course meal in my tightest jeans....

I agree with Kellog and GP also, but in the wild, after shedding corns would have the option of THEN searching for food, so technically they wouldn't really miss a feed.
I like the tight jeans image, but I also wouldn't want to have to shed after eating a huge christmas dinner  |
