Hi,
This is actually pretty common. Try increasing the humidity or or providing the snake with a tepid water soak to facilitate the shed. The shed should come in a few days. I have never had a problem with feeding snakes during a shed while their eyes were not milky.
IDK!Sorry.
We were told with all our snakes (well my husbands snakes) that as long as their eyes are not clouded over (white) then it is okay to offer them food. It is when their eyes are covered you should not offer them food
raise your humidity or give him a warm soak -- he will probably shed anytime now -- you should keep a daily log with dates and events then you will be able to look back thru it and know roughly what his shed schedule is --- there is no problem feeding your snake when it is in shed - it is just that sometimes they will refuse the food. that is why most of us wait till they shed then feed them - i feed my snakes every 7 to 10 days depending on the animal -- if one misses his meal then sheds lets say 3 days later i will wait till his regular meal time comes up then feed him to stay on schedule -- thats me though others feed them as soon as the shed then again 7 to 10 days after - i just like feeding them on thursday or friday with one girl 3 days after that - missing a meal while in shed will not harm your snake as long as he is healthy to begin with
you can, I have fed my snake right before shes about to shed and she does fine with that. It really depends on what your snake likes.
