I have 2 snakes, a corn and a bp. They were both ready to shed but I decided to feed them since they have never refused a meal before.
I started with the corn because he usually eats within around 3 minutes, and today was the same. He wolfed down the mouse before I could even change his water.
I put him back in his tank and grabbed the BP to feed him as well, and before I could even put the bp in the feeding tank the corn began to shed right in front of me. It's not the first time I was able to watch him, but seeing him do that in the afternoon so soon after being handled was a treat.
When he finished shedding he got rid of the last of last weeks meal, had a drink and curled up. Big meal, fresh shed, bowel movement, cold drink...he must be feeling mighty fine right about now .
