SWEET-Scarlets first shed...can we feed her tomorrow

Well I am happy to post that scarlet completed her first shed this evening in one long snakey skin including the eye caps. We have been in a really dry spell so like freaking new parents we tried to moisten her environment up some. Honestly we combined some suggestions and had great luck and very precise control. We took a container of moistened moss and placed it near the UTH to warm it slightly and encourage evaporation and then we put some press and seal over the upper lid with both ends having flaps that we could open and close accordingly to keep the humidity around 72 percent. She took 10 days total and now she is sparkling and beautiful again. Here is our question; she is overdue on her feeding obviously and we wanted to ask if it would be wise to feed her tomorrow evening? She is really on the prowl all over her cage right now.
 
Hi so happy to here that she had a great shed you could feed her now or tomorrow morning or wait until tomorrow night. But try feeding her now and see if she will take it if not try again tomorrow night. :)
 
Yep, I do the exact same as Khena, I feed my snakes the same day as I find their sheds UNLESS it is away from their usual feeding date. I feed my colubrids on Tuesdays, so if I find a shed on a wednesday or a thursday I'll go ahead and feed. If it's any other day I just wait for the next feeding day.
 
She ate 13 pinkies last night, what a freaking porker.........well maybe just her normal two. Thanks all
 
I thought the same thing when I read the phrase the first time but reread it and saw she only ate her regular 2. From what I remember from other posts, Tdog also had trouble feeding her her normal 2 pinkies last few times. I'm pretty sure it was an exageration to say she ate them like a pig. Not always easy to joke in writting ;)
