Shedding of the herpes virus can occur even when there are no visible symptoms, a process known as asymptomatic viral shedding.

Monitoring for symptoms and consulting a healthcare provider can help manage and understand shedding patterns.

How do you feed a shedding snake?
The short answer is - don't ! When a snake is going through the shedding process, their eyesight is diminished somewhat, and they may strike at you - rather than a food item. Additionally, shedding can make them irritable - again possibly resulting in a bite. Although some snakes will feed during shedding, their natural behaviour is to shun feeding until they've completed the process.The best thing to do - is to leave the snake until it's shed its old skin completely - give it a little more privacy and keep handling to an absolute minimum. Don't forget to ensure the eye-caps (Brille) have been shed with the rest of the skin.Once the shed is complete, the snake will likely be more than ready for a meal. I tend to leave my snakes at least two days to rest after shedding - before offering food items. It will do your snake no harm at all to make it wait a little longer than normal for its next feed.
