Handling while blue?

I've read here that you shouldn't handle snakes when they're about to shed. Well I need to clean the cage, and my BRB is obviously thinking of shedding. She never seems to mind being held.

Thanks

As a rule I don't handle. That being said, sometimes it is necesary.

Four words...AT...YOUR...OWN...RISK

I wouldn't do it just for the sake of handling, but if something needed to be done (i.e. cage cleaning) then I wouldn't worry too much. The reaction is going to vary by snake, by day.

I cleaned the cage. In the process, I had to take a few pics. Thanks everyone
