1st shed questions

Okay so I last fed/cleaned my snakes cage on 2/24/09. I just weighed the snake today and it was 25 grams. It's about to go into a shed though, it's eyes are milky. Since it's 3/3 I'm due to feed it... Although it's about to shed should/can I still feed? I also gave it a quick dip in the tub on 2/26. Should I do it again since it's about to shed?

I usually feed two F/T pinkies BTW

Thanks guys,
Brian.
 
I usually stick to the feeding rota through sheds. If they eat, that's fine. If they refuse, that's fine as well.

I've never bathed any of mine and I can count the number of bad sheds I've seen on the fingers of one hand. In your place I wouldn't bother stressing it out. You could put a humid hide in with it if you're concerned. At that size, you could just put some damp kitchen towel in a deli tub or similar.

Nice, I just wasn't sure if there would be complications if I do in fact get it to eat, like the process of digestion and shedding conflicting. I will also add the damp towels in a tub to help with humidity, that's a good idea ;)

I just fed two pinkies, didn't seem very interested in the beginning but I left them in there and they were eaten.

Thanks for the help,
Brian.
