Vector ate about a week ago and since then he washoled up in hios repti- shelter. He just shed and is now out and active. I figure he is hungry.

Is it ok to feed right after a shed? Is there a certain amount of time you shoukld wait after a shed before feeding.

I feed during the shed process. Some snakes eat some don't.You will find out if your's will.

Good Luck

All that work he just did??? He deserves a frozen micey treat. Mine eat on a regular schedule, regardless of whether in shed or not. There is no set amount of time you have to wait after a shed.

I usually try to feed during shed. If they eat they do, if not I wait until the next feed period so that all the snakes are on the same schedule. As stated above, there's no problem with feeding right after a shed, but if you want to stay on your same schedule, you can just wait until he's due.

I feed mine on their scheduled feeding day whether they are in shed or not. If they refuse to eat, I wait until their next scheduled feeding day. And I have to agree with what's already been said, there's nothing wrong with feeding right after a shed.

We fed him and he took no time before scarfing it down. Thanks
