    shedding question

    azule my male puget sound just shed and it came off beautifully in one 17" piece and hes sooo pretty and soft, my question is that ive had him off feed for a week and a half for burmation and should i feed him since he shed then start over? do they grow a lot after shedding?

    Reed, I wouldn't start over. You'll be ok going ahead with burmation plans

    Re: shedding question

    it is well known, thats not optimal to brumate snakes when they are going to shed, because it could cause problems during hibernation.
    So best is, as it happend to you, when they shed in the phase of preparation.

    go on all right
