I wouldnt bother at all, a couple of days wont make much difference. I would leave it till after the shed is complete to be honest, well thats just my humble opinion lol

cool well will offer and see shes not show her face for a couple of days tho

unless its an individual i'm trying to feed-up i don't even offer as it's more natural for them - in the wild they'd just hole-up somewhere safe while they're in blue and not be out looking for food as they're so vulnerable........

like eye says though, some keepers offer but it's really down to the snake if it eats or not

You can offer, but don't be alarmed if she refuses, they do that sometimes when they're blue or about to shed.

thats wicked any paticular problems i should look out for ? shes due to be feed tomoro should i just feed as normal if she doesnt eat how long should i leave the pinkie in there ?

yeah they usually shed within a wek of their eyes clearing

it varies slightly but expect her to get her colour back in about 3 days and the actual shed to take place about 3 days after that
