how long do I wait to feed after shed?

[stretch]

I was wondering how long I should wait until I feed my boa. He shedded sometime yesterday in the early morning. Is it ok if I feed him tonight?

Just keep in time with the normal feeding schedule.
If the feed day is shed day, offer the food to it.
Many snakes, not all though, will even eat during full blue, some that normally won't will and even then, those that do, sometimes won't.

Follow that?

yeah Same day is fine the old skin just falls off when the new skin is ready, so no big deal. If the snake doesnt want to eat, just offer it again in a couple days.

hmm well my BCI eats during the "blue eye stage" but i dont feed it because its already wasting all its energy on the shedding process why make it more tierd ... i mean let it be [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] .... take it step by step ..... and i usually feed exactly after shed ..... good luck [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Two days is industry standard, but I think three days is kinda money [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

Seriously though, I just keep with the normal feeding schedule, my snakes know better than me if they want to eat or not while in the blue or right after a shed.
