should i be worried

[Dan19]

Feeding while shedding is fine, most times it can help shed aswell. Theres nothing to argue. And with the hot end, i would put it up to about 32-24. You do have a thermostat and thermometer dont you?

 

[mrillusion]

Yep and there is no proof that feeding a snake while on shed is detremental!
We have quite a few that will eat right through the process and some that refuse

and theres no proof thats feeding a snake while its shedding isn't detremental!
and i bet if there was a vote most people would say not to.

The snake will choose if it wonts to eat whilst shedding or not. Whats the point of voting? Gullable people get sucked into stupid internet rumours that are not true. And it sounds like you are one of them.

dont feed him while hes shedding and dont handle him

Dont, give advise if you have no idea.
Feeding in shed [ if the snake excepts it ] is absolutely fine.

 

[mungus]

Feeding while it is shedding isnt a problem! Some snakes will eat and some wont
It is best avoid handling when it is actually peeling unless it requires assistance

100 % correct

Shes awesome.

What experience or expertise do you have to back up your statement that feeding a snake during a shed cycle is detrimental mate?

I have proof that it isn't detrimental - dozens of snakes still alive and thriving in my collection, all of which are fed in a shed cycle (those willing to feed).

Now show me where's your proof that it is harmful....

dont feed him while hes shedding and dont handle him

so whats wrong with handling a snake while it's in shed? I sometimes hear of this but never hear why.. sounds like an old wives tail to me.
