it should be any day now but it can take a few days. I would feed her the next day...a few weeks is nothing to any anaconda...don't worry...she will be fine. I would not be holding her that much in shed, she can't see you and feels vulnerable and is more likely to bite you. I just did a 4th grade presentation on anacondas and snakes today and showed my young girl and took her out to find out she is going into shed. She was fine but if I had known I would not have used her. The kids surprised me with a lot of things they knew and some great questions. Quite a few reptiles in their homes I found out and maybe we got some new future forum members.
