Fasting, shedding, eating

Posted by Kristen on August 31, 2001 at 16:35:56:

My 21" long Tx rat snake that I have had for 9 weeks has not eaten in four weeks. Finally today her eyes have begun to cloud over. Once she is finished shedding, do I offer her a full meal(1 fuzzy) or do I start with a snack of 1 pinky since it has been so long since she has eaten? Also, do I wait the usual week after she eats to feed again, or should I offer meals closer together for a while to make up for lost time? Is there any thing else I should know about the time between the eyes clouding and the actual shedding of the skin; this will be the first time since we have had her, and she is our first snake. Thanks for any info.
