SHEDDING

This is the first time my snake has shed since I got him a little over 2 weeks ago. He is pretty active today. When should I try to feed him? Also, how long will it be before he sheds again? Thanks to all replys!

usually a month is about right between sheds, if it's just a youngster. my adults go about 6 weeks.

They can eat right away after a shed, two of mine will even eat in "blue" right before the shed. My oldest female actually used to eat, the shed hours later as long as it's been active, i'd say maybe hunting
