You have your date picked out for brumation and several days prior you notice your snake beginning a shed cycle. Do you postpone brumation until post shed and will you find that a snake that sheds immediatly prior to brumation will still shed after a couple of meals post brumation? Dave

I put them in brumation regardless....
They will shed in brumation but it just takes them longer.......
Depending on brumation set up...

Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

I agree with John and put mine in regardless. If I notice they are in shed prior to putting them in brumation I will check on that animal more often though due to the fact that they usually crap when they shed, and that should be cleaned up asap.
