    Not necessarily...some snakes eat before a shed and others don't. Cee Cee and Hermes eat before a shed, Seeley won't. I always offer food if it is normal feeding time even with an impending shed...just in case.

    I agree with Marnie. I have some snakes that eat before, during and after shedding and others that go off food at the first sign of blue phase (ecdysis, shedding).
    Each snake has its own way of handling it.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.
