Is it ok to feed a snake right after shedding? When I found the shedded skin of Sina it was still moist.A few minutes after that I took her out and she was in a get-away mood.But I managed to take her out and held her while defrosting her rat pinkies.She calmed down quickly!
You think it's possible that snakes don't like being touched minutes after shedding? I know they don't like it during.Any ideas?

yes I belive it's ok to feed right after a shead,Fletcher my corn is a starving marvin after a shead.and it is ok to handle them, i don't do it right away but I will handle them the same day

Jacky,

It's fine to feed after a shed. We've fed ours for years and never had a problem

Agreed! However be aware that the new skin may yet be a little soft and handle carefully.

Thanks guys! Merlin,that explains the get-away mood! usually she doesn't do that anymore.In future I will wait a few hours until I feed.

Mine are always very hungry right after a shed and eat with no problem...I haven't noticed mine being sensitive to touch right after shedding though...they haven't seemed to mind being handled right away. I love the way they feel right after shedding...nice and soft I always try to be careful when I handle them whether they've shed or not...I'd hate to damage their scales somehow.

I just read a caresheet where it says that you should wait 48 hrs to feed after shedding! Anyone knows about that?

mine will always eat after a shed. i've never waited to feed them and have never had a problem. if they shed the same day that I feed them they have no problems with that lol.

I've never heard that before either, and I've certainly never waited to feed them after a shed if it was feeding day...They're always ravenous !!!
