Most snakes won't eat while shedding. I would hold off on feeding until after shedding.


:hello. my newly purchased cal. king is about to shed for the first time since i got it. My question is should I feed it during this time? I know you're supposed to keep handling to a minimum, but should I just present food like normal, or wait? thanks for any answers
