Opaque: To feed or not to feed?

[SadinaSaphrite]

So, I've had my little baby corn for about two weeks. She ate successfully last week, and her feeding day is tomorrow. When I picked her up today, however, I noticed her eyes were foggy and she'd started going opaque. I read somewhere that snakes have trouble eating when shedding, so the question is should I feed her tomorrow on schedule? Or should I wait for her to shed?

You're probably going to hear from both who do and who don't. I don't let it stop me from feeding, but in reality the snake would not be actively hunting in the wild.

I don't feed when the snake is blue. Nearly every regurge I've had has been with a blue snake. The snake may also refuse, and then you have wasted the mouse.

and then you have wasted the mouse.

on topic though i don't feed while they are in blue either.

Alright. So will a seven month corn be fine skipping a meal for a week?

 

[WingedSweetheart]

Skipping a meal won't hurt at all.

I feed when they're blue, but if you are at all concerned, there is no harm in skipping a meal.
