Thank you, everyone, for your help.
    That's the kicker. Most snakes go off feed when they shed. They get all reclusive and snappy as well. Well, mine dont, but my snakes (including my pine and gopher snakes) are tame as cats...

    I have a pine snake that likes to crawl into my shirt and hang out with me while I nap on my computer chair. That kind of cat.
