Yet Another Question

MOATI Apr 08, 2005 12:16 AM

OK...now it looks like Dagon is getting ready to shed (his eyes are completely clouded over and his color is somewhat cloudy.

He also has a vet appointment tomorrow where he'll be measured, weighed, checked, and sexed. I'm guessing this will be stressful for him.

My question is...Friday is feeding day. Should I give it a couple days after the vet before I try to feed him? Should I wait til he's done shedding before I try?

I need a little guidance. Thanks for any help.

Rather move his vet appointment until after he sheds. IMHO this will be less stressful for him. And depending on the snake you can feed him the same day he has been at the vet or wait a day or two.
