Joe,

If you are concerned about waiting for the snake to feed after its first shed then I would go ahead and assist feed it. If the snake leaves the egg before it has absorbed the yoke, then I would suggest ligating ( tie off with dental floss ) the umbilical chord about 1/2 inch from the snakes belly. If the snake leaves the egg dragging the yoke sac there is concern that the snake may get an umbilical hernia.

If you have more questions feel free to call me at 408-981-6694 or e-mail me at fgsnakes@sbcglobal.net

Best of luck
